supra_aero Posted November 12, 2019 Share Posted November 12, 2019 Hi I wonder if anyone knows name of this connector on windscreen? Carwash jet wash blew it away and I've a gap now where the 2 ends of rubber meet. I could only find this on eBay but for completely different car but so you know what I'm on about. https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/CLASSIC-MINI-WINDSCREEN-STAINLEES-STEEL-CHROME-FINISH-TRIM-STRAIGHT-JOINING-CLIP/223548444914?hash=item340c8690f2:g:XQYAAOSwlhpZicnM Even if a generic one. For some reason the forum won't let me upload a pic of the part. Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mk4Gaz Posted November 12, 2019 Share Posted November 12, 2019 The supra doesn't have one? The rear windscreen rubber is one piece dude Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
supra_aero Posted November 12, 2019 Author Share Posted November 12, 2019 I think therefore when I had my tailgate resprayed the bodyshop either cut it or replaced it with a generic piece. Grrr. That rubber bit I see whifbitz sells but I think it's a glass out job to replace or does anyone know otherwise? Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rider Posted November 13, 2019 Share Posted November 13, 2019 To fit a new, proper one, it'll need to be a glass out job. I had Autoglass do that but they refused to cover any damage as they couldn't get a replacement screen if it broke so it was at my own risk. Thankfully they didn't break it.

Mk4Gaz Posted November 13, 2019 Share Posted November 13, 2019 I replaced mine after I painted my supra last summer. I did it with the glass in, but it's a real pain to do. I did actually end up having to cut the seal and put the join tight at the bottom in the centre. It's hardly noticeable, but I know Mark Cattle managed to do it without cutting his. If I did it again, I'd definitely pay to have the glass removed Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
supra_aero Posted November 13, 2019 Author Share Posted November 13, 2019 Thanks. Do you know where he got the join clip from? That's what I'm after. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
markssupra Posted November 13, 2019 Share Posted November 13, 2019 Replacing the seal is fairly easy with rear screen in, done it twice now! It is one piece as Gaz says, make sure there is no sealant in the groove between the glass and rear hatch as that will stop the seal from clipping under the glass. a little wd40 helps as well. Just be careful not to use anything sharp to push the seal into the gap, you will poke through it. And patience, lots and lots of patience http://www.garagewhifbitz.co.uk/toyota/supra/toyota-oem-parts/body-parts/toyota-supra-front-windscreen-seal-3907.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
supra_aero Posted November 13, 2019 Author Share Posted November 13, 2019 Thanks - if someone knows a clip which will help i'll try that first as would be much easier. If not i'll go for whifbitz full replacement route. thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Their fitters likely carry a plethora of bits and pieces, and may be able to offer a universal replacement rubber to avoid having the screen removed Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
