a week is outrageously ridiculous to have someones car. Go get your vehicle back and find another dealer. The fix is already out for the noise, stop getting dicked around. -t
just chatted with scion.com (chat program).. and they said "it is still being researched".. no TSB has been issued yet.. how difficult can it be to find this? when many are reporting that it's re-torquing of the front bolts on the sunroof? any thoughts?Originally posted by hevisto@Aug 2 2004, 05:57 AM
There are many rumored fixes - I have yet to hear of or see the official Toyota or Scion version. If you know where it is...
Yes that would be the noise. Mine does it when I back out of my driveway.Originally posted by QSJ Ed@Aug 2 2004, 07:45 AM
Is this the pop noise I hear when slowly walk the car up a steep driveway?
so the headliner is going to be replaced? or the structure that holds the sunroof and makes it open and close?Originally posted by xsangriax@Aug 2 2004, 08:33 AM
I just posted about this in another thread, but my dealership is planning on replacing the headliner in the sunroof bc they said mine is deformed and the sunroof does not sit properly...
thanks i got your other message.. and yeah now that others are experiencing this.. we're getting more info and understanding..Originally posted by xsangriax@Aug 2 2004, 05:39 PM
I responded to ur question in the other thread that I started on this subject...I also wanted to add though that they did tighten some bolts at first and that did minimize the the frequency of the sound...but it didnt do the trick.
Height of seat is due to dealerships not installing them right after they take them out for scotch-guard.........sorry.Originally posted by sciontc_mich+Aug 2 2004, 11:54 PM-->QUOTE (sciontc_mich @ Aug 2 2004, 11:54 PM)<!--QuoteBegin-xsangriaxthanks i got your other message.. and yeah now that others are experiencing this.. we're getting more info and understanding..@Aug 2 2004, 05:39 PM

When i test drove some manuals.. (#4000's and #5031 or so) i did notice that my head was brushing that headliner with my hair.. something i didn't see in the other two automatics (#2300's and #3000's).. then i test drove a later #6630? or #6681 manual and the headroom was fine.. i couldn't figure out what it was.. now i know.. sagging headliner! makes sense..
but why would the automatics have their headliners okay and the manuals would not be (for headroom)?? are they producing these on two different lines? i have heard they produced more autos than manuals.. could this be it too? maybe someone could throw out some ideas of why two different transmission choices would affect the headliner..

ok so, to test your theory.........you must further the breadth of your study to include test drives from another dealer. Now, if the seat height at this dealer is still high in every car........there is a problem.Originally posted by sciontc_mich@Aug 3 2004, 04:31 PM
that's what i thought too, the scotchguard, but this dealer doesn't do that.. and these cars were all at the same dealer.. only difference was manual/auto.. the VIN didn't see to matter..
its a fabric conditioner applied to cloth to make it repel stains. Similar (yet far more permanent) to the stuff that you spray sneakers or boots with to waterproof themOriginally posted by SilverX@Aug 3 2004, 05:58 PM
What exactly is scotchguard. I tried looking it up but I could only find vacation trips, 3M stain remover, etc.
could you tell us your VIN production #? it is the last 4 or 5 digits of your VIN.. we're trying to keep track of the problems.. thanksOriginally posted by Scionara@Aug 4 2004, 11:51 AM
Been having the same 'pop' when i back out of the driveway.
