"U.S. auto safety regulators said on Tuesday they had begun an investigation of whether the glass moonroof in the Scion tC is prone to shatter, risking passenger injury in the sport coupe made by Toyota Motor Corp."

I'd be after the roof maker if I was Scion.

maybe it was Scion who went to the cheap roof makers to reduce cost *shrug*

Now does it spontaneously shatter on its own or does it shatter when something hits it, cause things made of glass do have a tendency to shatter when something hits it.

Hmmm... Maybe they should consider making the sunroof out o bulletproof lucite and while they're at it do the windows too.

Who cares about the sunroof. Just dont roll your car and you will be okay.

It doesn't just happen with Scion Tc's. I've seen it happen to almost any car with a sunroof. G35 are some what prone to them as well...

I actually think the TC roof looks really nice from the back of the car. Looks like it has the carbon fiber roof like the M6.
