#1774 of 2033 Rear Window Defroster by skoop Dec 17, 2006 (2:48 am)
Okay, I hope I can explain this correctly. I bought a Tc a couple of days ago. Used my rear window defroster. Now I can see spots on the window. Looks like heat sensors, round geometrically lined up spots all over the back window. It is really frustrating me, because it looks like crap. I was so totally into this car, but now I am concerned. Anyone know what this might be? What to do? Replies to this message: mark19 (Dec 17, 2006 4:20 am) skoop (Dec 17, 2006 5:24 am)

Replying to: skoop (Dec 17, 2006 2:48 am) nothing wrong with your rear window defroster or the rear window. It's the way that the rear glass is tinted with UV protection. It's the angle in which you look at the glass you can see the circles in the rear glass. Usually you see it from the outside looking in. All tC's have this, as well as other cars too. sorry to say, but it's normal. If you want, go to a scion dealer and see all the rest of the tc's, they all have this.

Replying to: mark19 (Dec 17, 2006 4:20 am) Thanks, that is exactly what I was going to do, tomorrow when the dealers were open. Glad that mine isn't the only one, I have been obsessing about it all night. I am planning on having my windows tinted. Do you know if this would cover it up, or make it more noticable?   Thanks again, for helping me with my new obsession. I love my new car, circles and all.

Replying to: iluvmysephia1 (Aug 10, 2006 8:19 pm) Did you pay full sticker price for your Tc? I went to the dealership and they told me all king of stories about "pure price". Pay them $17.7K or leave...   Have you run into the same problem? Thank you.

I never bought a tC, just test drove one. It was a 2005 Scion tC RS 1.0 in Absolutely Red color. I was thinking about getting a Spec for a while. Replies to this message: awooster (Dec 28, 2006 7:49 am) ksergio1972 (Dec 28, 2006 4:00 pm)

Replying to: iluvmysephia1 (Dec 27, 2006 9:10 pm) you should look into the TCs. they are good cars. But everywhere u go they are stiff on the price. Either u pay sticker or you leave w/out a car. If you guys are interested I have mine for sale. Its an 07 silver with 5,000 miles for $17,000 Replies to this message: ksergio1972 (Dec 28, 2006 4:00 pm)

Replying to: awooster (Dec 28, 2006 7:49 am) No, Thank you. We will have to finance it and $700 difference is not worth it.
#1782 of 2033 06 tC Exploding Moonroof by mss Dec 31, 2006 (7:18 am)
Has anyone out there experienced a moonroof failure in a 06 tC? The other night I was driving to work on the Garden State Parkway at about 75mph when out of the blue there was a loud noise and a tornado of glass fragments flying around inside my car. Before this happened, all windows including the roof were completely closed. I managed to pull over and discovered most of my moon roof was now missing (deflector popped up and was intact). I ended up having to drive the rest of the distance with the sun visor closed with one hand holding it in place.   I dropped it off to Toyota that night and received a loaner car the following day. I'm currently waiting on Toyota Corp to open on Tuesday to find out how they're going to handle this.   I filed a complaint online with the NHTSA and have found that 9 other cases were reported in 2006 for the same issue. Now it's possible that some debris might have kicked up from the road ahead of me but the angle of impact would have to had to be almost vertically downward since nothing hit the windshield or deflector. Thankfully no one else was in the car at the time.   In addition to the broken moonroof glass, my trunk and rear bumper are basically sandblasted and will need to be repainted. My biggest concern at this point is how easy it seemed that this window broke and fragmented. Considering the entire roof is made out of glass, I would have hoped that it would hold up under these type of circumstances. At a minimum, there ought to be some sort of laminate applied to the glass in case the windows does brake that it doesn't end up in a million different sized bit whirling around the inside of your car.   I'll keep you posted as to what Toyota does next week.
