I have a 2004 toyota corolla and my front window broke before the recall. I contacted toyota directly and the told me there was nothing they could or would to about it because my car was out of warranty. I had the glass replaced by a auto glass co., but it was not operating right. Went to toy. Dealership they said regulator was bent by not using toy.glass. I explained that regulator felt like it was coming through the door when window broke. Got recall notice and bolts were put in but window on driver side still does not line up right. It is starting to ware away my weather stripping and alot of wind noise comes through. Toyota still does not want to fix this problem.

June 24 I took my 2004 toyota corolla -- VIN [xxx] --- in for the recall ssc # 80a 03-04 front door glass bolts safety recall. The window appeared to be in working order, when I picked it up. The window came to a tight seal at the upper part of the window. June 25, the window is off track again leaving a gap at the upper portion when the window rolls up! Toyota said they will not replace the weather stripping. The window because it went off track because of a defect at the factory, made the rubber around the window all loose and maybe affecting the window now. I can see how the stripping has formed in a way that it might push the window away from the inner track -- when window goes up, the stripping is loose and the window moves as going up. I personally think toyota is getting the easy way out of this. On a side note.. I already had to replace the window cause it shattered on me, thank god I had tint on the window. I took it to a private business, and just my luck, cant find the receipt. So I won't get reimburse. Information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u.s.c. 552(b)(6).

I was driving a toyota 2004 corolla on the highway @ 60 MPH. All the car windows were open. There were no other cars/trucks near the car. I pushed the button to close the windows. The driver side window went up to approx. 6" from the top of the window and stopped. I pushed the button to turn it down. The window returned down. I again pushed the button to close the window. As the window was raised to apprrox 6" from the top, the glass exploded. I drove directly to the toyota dealer who said sometimes this happens and was not able to give a reason for the occurrence. The window was replaced. I am afraid to touch the window as when the glass exploded, my hand was cut, some of the glass was in my lap. I was wearing sunglasses which I think provided some protection. When I saw the back of the car there was glass on the floor and back seat. Fortunately, I didn't panic when the glass exploded. I am frightened to think of the serious consequences if I did. Are there any reasons for this type of occurrence? There wasn't any unusual sound when I pushed the window buttons. Is there a problem w the toyota 2004 corolla? Thank you for your help.
Dt: while driving down the at 50 MPH on smooth road there was a hissing coming from the sun roof. The glass from the sun roof flew off, and the consumer saw the glass behind the car in the rearview mirror.t he sun roof was closed at the time when it flew off. The glass came off in one piece and then broke on the ground. Then, the owner pulled over and looked at the sun roof. He took the car home, then to the car to dealer . The consumer was unsure what caused it, and the dealership hasn't told the consumer the cause of the failure. The dealership will replace the sun roof. The consumer has not had other problems with car but was upset with dealership for charging for a rental car.
Windshield is very susceptable to cracks. Original windshield was hit with a very small pebble while driving at relatively low speeds (40-45mph). Immediately a crack traveled across the entire length of the windshield. One week later, the same instance occurred and a small pebble created a spider web-like crack.
While driving vehicle sunroof glass separated from the sunroof mechanism. *bf the dealer determined that the glue used to hold the glass to the metal was faulty. The consumer requested to be reimbursed for the rental.
Sun visor on driver side interferes with rear view mirror. When visor is pulled down, it hits the rear view mirror, causing the mirror to move up or down. On sunny days when constantly moving visor, the rear view mirror is a continual problem needing readjustment and causing driver to take eyes off the road.
