ok...ok ...just did this today!!!

thought i would save myself a fiver and remove them...got the parts on thursday from Toyota and went to it!!...F*cked up 3 screw heads with a crap screwdriver!! :D this was after i had trimmed away all the crappy rubber revealing the screw heads and the little metal plate!

Eventually went to the local garage i use who after 2 seconds removed the 4th screw.....then took 45 mins to remove the 3 f*cked screws by cutting the metal plates and pinching the screw heads to remove them...all this without touching the paintwork!!! :( :( phew!!!

i now have no rubber stoppers...and no rear hatch racket!! :D ....but now need 3 more screws (thankyou for that part number!!!) and am £30 out of pocket...and what p*sses me off is that the man in the garage (cos I give him such good custom) would have unscrewed all 4 screws and replaced the rubbers for nothing!! zero!!! zilch!!.....lesson learned!!!!!!!!! :banghead:

Sorry this is too late for you now, but this is how I ended up doing it:

I think we should probably add "How to change the boot rubbers" to the FAQ somewhere?

Here you go:

 

Lower rubber: 67281-14050

Screw: 90159-50116

 

Upper rubber: 67293-14050 (up to chassis 0035274)

Upper rubber: 67293-14051 (chassis 0035274 on)

Screw: 90159-08055

 

I might be wrong but I think that 67293-14051 is a later part, which can be used on all cars. I guess Toyota redesigned it from '96, to stop it splitting so easily?

 

Also, I think the upper and lower are the other way around. 67293-14051

being lower.

 

Personally, I think you only need to change the lower rubber cushions, as the upper stoppers are hard and don’t perish like the lower rubbers.

 

...Sorry to be pedantic!

I dont suppose anyone haspictures of damaged and non damaged boot rubbers?

 

I for one would like to know which boot rubbers are the ones that actually casue a problem :)

 

P.S. Yes, I am lazy :)

 

it is defintiely the lower...they split across the top as on my car and are easily pulled away revealing the screw heads. i just had to assist with a stanley knife

ok...just checked this url...definitely was not the way to go....i definitely think its the screwdriver...i used what i thought was a good square ended driver but it still had the edges cut away at an angle and ripped the head of the screw apart....the guy at the garage used a philips typeby it was like a normal philips with the end cut ff s that you had a completely flat star(cross) pattern which gave good leverage...all my drivers had similar but were not flat and angledback at the point ofcontact

hope this helps

I can post some pics of boot rubbers.. I just got my replcements from Paul Whiffin (20 quid including all screws and bolts) and he always has them in stock - so if you dont want to wait yo could always call him. I will be fitting them sometime this week and pop some photos up then.
