Carrier/rack Problems of Toyota Scion Tc

I was driving on the freeway and heard a loud crack. My ac was on and it was about 92 degrees outside. My front sunroof wind deflector completely shattered.

When I returned to my car that had been parked for approximately three hours, I found that the deflector was raised and the sunroof was entirely shattered. The "legs" of the deflector appeared to have broken through the glass, as the sunroof was severely cracked and broken along each of its four edges. I had not used the sunroof prior to parking my car that morning. Upon reading similar complaints, I do recall also having heard an extremely loud pop while driving, but the sunroof did not shatter until some time after while the car was parked.

I was driving with my sunroof open. I heard a loud pop followed by a piece of the glass deflector shield fell into my vehicle, hitting me on the head. I stopped and looked at my sunroof and saw a spiderweb like crack on the wind deflector with no point of impact. There is a recall on this part as I am told by a dealership, scion's corporate office, and online. The recall id is 50s. Even though there is a recall that describes exactly what happened to my vehicle, and it is a definite safety issue in regards to the part, I am being told that because my VIN number was not included that they will not cover the cost of replacing the part. I put in a complaint and do have a case number for it if needed for investigation.

I own a 2005 Scion Tc (manufactured by Toyota). Recently the driver side power window was unable to close. The window would go half way up and then stop. It would go down fine from the half way up position. The motor was in good working order. I took my car to a local garage and they said that the window had come out of the run channel and that the metal piece which holds the run channel was bent and cracked. As the door and window mechanism has never had any kind of trauma and as the parts are all within the structure of the door I can only assume that the parts and/or installation of the window pieces were defective. I surmise that over time (vehicle is just 3. 5 years old with 45k miles) the force of the normal window operation has warped the defective parts holding it in place. In my research I noticed that Toyota issued a safety bulletin (NHTSA action # ea08004) for 2004 on their corolla and matrix models for a power window problem on these cars. I think my problem may be related to this. My local Toyota dealer is not being cooperative saying my car is out of warranty so I intend to take up the issue with the regional representative. Ps my mechanic said that he'd guess that my car wasn't the only Scion Tc that had this problem.
