albundy68 Posted October 22, 2007 Share Posted October 22, 2007 can somone confirm that the rubber surround for the windscreen comes out without removing the windscreen? or is it bonded in with it? i was sure it came out, but my paint guy is putting doubt in my mind.

dwayne Posted October 22, 2007 Share Posted October 22, 2007 i just encountered the same problem. i am sure it can be taken out without removing the screen, there is a thread on here somewhere that confirms it. if your screen is taken out make sure they look after the clips under the bonnet that holds the rubber strip down because the gits broke half of mine when they replaced it!

JamesG Posted October 22, 2007 Share Posted October 22, 2007 Well the edge above the windscreen does, at least. Mine had to be stuck down again a couple of weeks after the windscreen was replaced. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fastnfurious Posted April 22, 2011 Share Posted April 22, 2011 i'm planning to replace the front windscreen rubber seal, must i remove the windscreen for this job? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kopite Posted April 22, 2011 Share Posted April 22, 2011 I've replaced mine in the past but it was a right pain getting it to stay sealed down. Kept coming off at speed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fastnfurious Posted April 22, 2011 Share Posted April 22, 2011 thanks for the info Kopite... and wow, you own a very rare '98 Supra 6-speed... a lucky owner i'd say! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Westy Posted April 22, 2011 Share Posted April 22, 2011 Would have thought this would have come out as to do a full re-spray 100%!? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kirk Posted April 22, 2011 Share Posted April 22, 2011 These seals are meant to be fitted before the screen not after! To renew it properly the screen must come out! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
L18msy Posted April 22, 2011 Share Posted April 22, 2011 These seals are meant to be fitted before the screen not after! To renew it properly the screen must come out! +1. I ripped mine removing the screen for the respray and had to replace it onto the window before refitting. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RobUK Posted April 22, 2011 Share Posted April 22, 2011 I kept my Windscreen in and taped the rubber seals back. It still allows for the car to be painted properly though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spunkmeyer Posted November 21, 2011 Share Posted November 21, 2011 Hi - jumping in here, mine just snapped the bung at the bottom on the drivers side, it flicked up and flapped around. As is my usual trick I checked with Toyota (so that I can gauge a rip off against the next best thing to do) they are quoting £170! To bond a whole new seal Now the strip has come off up to just before the bend for the top of the windscreen. Can I not just silicone it back down? Or is this a bit daft? I don't know if the silicone will prevent a new screen fitting if I ever need one? Any ideas? Cheers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Rsand85 Posted November 22, 2011 Share Posted November 22, 2011 i bought new rubber seals direct from toyota for my respray as i removed all glass the rubbers clip onto the window before bonding it in!i have an invoice here for £70 rear window seal and £45 front window seal.
