Guest SHOKAT Posted June 16, 2013 Share Posted June 16, 2013 Hi, new to the club. I have a 1997 model with a leaking aerotop. I was wondering if anyone can help me in sourcing new rubber or any advice to cure the leak. Both front and back are leaking. I live in Birmingham, West Midlands., England. So local suppliers of parts that you know would be appreciated. Thank you in advance for helping me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AndrewOW Posted June 16, 2013 Share Posted June 16, 2013 Hi and welcome to the club. Nic used to supply the rubbers for the roof, but since then I'm not sure. I'd imagine you could still get them from Toyota, but at a huge cost, possibly. How bad is the leak? Are the rubbers hard, peeling and cracked? If they aren't too bad, you could get some silicone spray, and work it into the material and that may help. When I first got my aerotop the passenger side (roof) leaked, but I bought a new one, and the driver's side has been fine with regular treatment of silicone.

marc_p Posted June 16, 2013 Share Posted June 16, 2013 You are best sourcing them from a Toyota dealership in the states, I got mine for about 1/4 of the price Toyota UK wanted for them. I think they were from Elm Hurst Toyota. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

supra joe Posted June 16, 2013 Share Posted June 16, 2013 (http://myworld.ebay.co.uk/toyotasupranation?_trksid=p2047675.l2559). this is who I used. Got all 4 for about 215 posted, seller marks down as a low end product to avoid import tax. Tell him your a member on here and he should do a discount.... Toyota UK wanted around 390 for just 2 !
