#1 of 33 toyota yaris 2007 repair of radiator grille by chris077 Jun 25, 2007 (6:51 am)
I damaged my toyota yaris 2007 radiator grille (section below hood and above bumper) when I hit a deer at night. Kindly advise how I can get it fixed economically. Is it advisable to get a refurbished spare from an auto body repair company? How can I locate a auto body repair company around Edison, NJ? Replies to this message: pf_flyer (Jun 25, 2007 11:11 am)

I have found that Maaco is reasonable. Stop by and get a free estimate. That is a good start.
#5 of 33 Yaris windshield distortion by vjmango Mar 06, 2007 (6:57 pm)
Just purchased a 2007 Yaris liftback. Did not notice this during test drive(which I performed during daylight)...but there is a lot of distortion in the windshield....especially at night. I'm talking double vision kind of distortion. Oncoming headlights appear to be stacked, tail-lights, street-lights and traffic lights also appear to double up vertically. I have never experienced this in any windshield and am quite shocked to witness this in a new car. However, after googling "windshield distortion"....I discovered I am not alone and this is quite a widespread problem. It has been noticed in Corollas' as well as some Lexus'. Has anyone else witnessed this in a Yaris??? I believe proper vision is a safety issue and that Toyota should replace my windshield........any input out there??

Replying to: vjmango (Mar 06, 2007 6:57 pm) I have had my Yaris liftback for 10 months now and have never had a problem with the windshield and have never heard of anyone else with the problem you stated. If it is bad as you have stated, I am sure that it will be replaced under warranty.

Replying to: vjmango (Mar 06, 2007 6:57 pm) I have an '06 Corolla, and haven't noticed that kind of distortion (and I tend to get bothered by any type of problem). Take your Yaris back for repair.
#8 of 33 Windshield shatters or second time by rhankins Jul 09, 2007 (8:14 am)
I have a 2006 Toyota Yaris (4-door) and this has been the second time in less than a year that the back windshield has shattered. Has anyone had this problem; am I looking at repairing another windshield down the road? I'm really concerned. Each time, it has happened in the morning after closing the door. I thought it might be the heat, but the first time it happened it was in October on a cooler morning but around the same time at 7:45 am.   Any advice? I've taken it to the dealer for replacement, again.   R Replies to this message: pf_flyer (Jul 09, 2007 8:51 am) rhankins (Jul 09, 2007 10:10 am) pf_flyer (Jul 10, 2007 3:41 am)

Replying to: rhankins (Jul 09, 2007 8:14 am) Both times in the morning is probably coincidence, but since you mention that it has happened twice, do you think it's possible that your early morning door closings are harder than usual? Not that it's your fault at all! The rear window should be able to withstand normal operation of the door. Just trying to think of possible causes as I doubt that temperature has anything to do with it. I suppose it's possible that there's some kind of stress on the glass from the frame that's being hit "just right" and causing the disaster. What's your dealer saying?

Replying to: pf_flyer (Jul 09, 2007 8:51 am) I called Toyota to see if others are having this problem. They have not heard of this problem, but I'm giving them my information, but they have no other cases. Maybe there is a defect in the glass.   I've reported it, so if it happens again, then there is a tracking record.   Thanks Replies to this message: pf_flyer (Jul 10, 2007 3:41 am)
