Consumer Description

I JUST PURCHASED MY 2007 SCION TC FIVE DAYS AGO. AND LAST NIGHT (DAY 4) AS I WENT TO MANUALLY LIFT UP THE TRUNK FROM THE HANDLE AREA THE WHOLE AREA POPPED OFF CAR! I WAS NOT USING EXCESSIVE FORCE OF ANY KIND. I KNOW THE VEHICLE WAS NOT LIKE THIS PRIOR BECAUSE I HAD JUST BEEN TO THE GROCERY STORE THE PREVIOUS NIGHT. LUCKILY I WAS JUST LEAVING MY PARENTS HOUSE WHEN THIS HAPPENED SO I WAS ABLE TO QUICK FIX IT WITH SOME CLEAR PACKAGING TAPE. BUT NOW IT LOOKS VERY TACKY AND CHEAP. SINCE I LIVE IN LAS VEGAS, NV. I DON'T THINK THAT THIS WILL BE AN ADEQUATE LONG TERM SOLUTION BECAUSE OF THE EXTREME TEMPERATURE CHANGES & RAINS. *TR
