T Bar Roof leaking

[OzzyMr2]

Whenever it rains my roof gushes with drips of water constantly i'm new to this site so this may already have been answered but is there any quick and easy solutions for a non mecanical minded individual.

Many Thanks

This has been answered thousands of times...

You have a few options:

1) Silicon lubricant spray: it softens the rubber providing a better seal. Made by a company called Holts.

2) Black silicone sealant. Similar to the stuff used in bathrooms, fills in gaps. Apply it to the glass, rather than the seals, so it can't be seen when the panels are out.

3) Eccentric rod guides. Available from Toyota, they provide a better tigher seal for the panels.

4) New rubber seals. The most expensive option.

hey thanks guys i dont think i'm ready for the new seals option just yet but thanks for the offer. I'll try the silicon first any ideas where to get this? i'm from Hereford and were in the sticks no halfords or motorman near us

[Jim_Mr2]

the spray from halfords will most probably sort you out mate.

Did the job for me , passenger side leaked abit, a spray and wipe round with that and it stopped leaking...... for a while so now give it spary every month or so and it's fine [-o< .

i've just used black silicone sealant and it worked a treat! and it was only a fiver from halfords for a small tube!

Try rubbing vaseline into the rubber, sounds a little kinky I know, but this over a short period of time will make the rubber seal more supple and expand a little, better than spraying crap from halfrauds all over it!

Vaseline is petroleum jelly, and as its oil based may permanently damage the rubber in the seals. The Halfords stuff is specifically formulated as a rubber lubricant and won't damage the rubber.

Fitted my eccentric rod guides at the weekend ( took less than an hour ). In the 4 rainy days since, including a 250 mile round trip to Sheffield today in rain and fog, not a single drip of water has come in

[OzzyMr2]

where from and how much were they?

[MartG]

Got them from Toyota

Eccentric pockets ( the holes on the car the rods go into ) are £1.12 + VAT each , part no. 63284-17030

Guides ( part no. 63284-17040 ) are £2.68 + VAT each

You need four of each to do both sides, and you also need four M4x10mm machine screws to lock the guides in position ( got mine from B&Q )
