Broken Scion tC Wind Deflector


That's Life, What the hell / Monday, February 22nd, 2010

So I have found the 1 part on a Scion tC that just cannot be fixed. Last week the wind deflector for my moonroof on my ’05 tC busted somehow, still not quite sure… I came out to it Wednesday morning and saw it was cracked up pretty good. It doesn’t look like vandalism as it wasn’t busted up too bad yet I don’t think it happened while I was driving. I haven’t had the moonroof opened in months so the deflector hasn’t been up and I didn’t see any glass fly off the car at any point while driving.

Regardless, anyone have this part replaced yet? I know it was affected by a recall a few years back and I had that work done at that time but I need it completely replaced now. It took me 2 days to get a hold of my normally trusty Toyota service adviser and he told me to bring it in to look at however when I got there they said they don’t do glass work. They gave me the part number, 63201-21110, and the phone # to Safelite Auto Glass because they said to get the part through Toyota would cost a lot and they wouldn’t do the work anyway so hopefully I could get it cheaper with Safelite. Then I tried calling Safelite and they can’t find the part. So then I called the Toyota collision center who worked on my car a few years ago figuring they do everything as they’re a collision center but no, they don’t do glass either. They have a glass guy. So I called their glass guy. He said I’d have to call a sunroof guy. Ugh. I’ll call him tomorrow. I’m sick already.

Not sure what to do at this point. Toyota is so backed up with current recalls they seemed like they couldn’t care less about this issue and their service is almost impossible to get a hold of at this point because of it. I don’t really want to drive the car in the meantime because the glass can just shatter more at any moment and fly everywhere. It seems to be literally and figuratively a bad break at a bad time. So I have found the 1 part on a Scion tC that just cannot be fixed. Fun.

  1. I got the same broken glass here, well a year later with the 2005 Scion tc. You are not alone here, I am counting 30 from NHTSA, enjoy the great Toyota quality.
