Fantastic work Wild202! This is a great service you are offering.

I have had some of the rebuilt arms from Poland, however they didn't last long before one started to fail; around 10k miles. To be fair they did send a replacement as it was within the 12 months guarantee, but after around 18 months the other side started knocking too.
I ended up eventually replacing them all with new from Toyota.

I suspect they don't open up the joints fully like you do & replace in their entirety, but use some sort of resin injection method to restore the main joints on the lower arm & fig 8, similar method to this: http://www.renewit.co.za/how-it-works.html

I am trying to install an additional bootlight in the inside of the tailgate and need to thread a wire through one of the rubber flexible looms at the top of the boot hatch - Does anyone know how you remove these? they seem pretty solidly mounted. Anyone who has swapped a tailgate over - can I ask how you transferred the wiring?

I did think about that, but it is the insulation material on the back of the carpet that is soaked through which needs drying properly. I think a vac would rip it apart if I used it directly on the insulation. I had to do the exact same thing in my old MR2 when that leaked.

I've found where the water appears inside now - there is a black butyl surface with a foam backing, just behind and to the right of the throttle pedal. it is a bit cracked from being kicked presumably but I don't think that matters. The foam component of this material is soaked through. Unless a sunroof hose could be leaking onto this I'm confident it is the rubber grommets badboy mentioned causing the leak, although they did look in good condition when I had the wheelarch lining off last week...

I will attempt to seal them up at the weekend and will report back with how successful it is! Thanks for the help everybody.

PS - Is there a guide anywhere to removing the carpet? I need to dry it out now!

I tried pouring some water into the sunroof drain holes on each of the front corners, and it looks like it is exiting the car on the sill next to the front sill jacking point - is this right?

sorry I misinterpreted waht you said - these rubber grommets on the a pillar are not for the sunroof drain hoses correct? I'm not sure it is these that are letting in water as the car has not moved for 3 weeks. won't water only leak past these rubber grommets when driving?

Hi there,

I currently have the wheelarch liner off, but cannot see any rubber grommets where the drain exits from the body of the car - do you have any pictures of where to look?

Is there a guide anywhere to checking the sunroof drains? I have the Toyota workshop manuals in PDF form - are the details in there?

Hi all,

I noticed my passenger side (RHD JDM) footwell carpet was very wet recently after a heavy rain storm. Are there any common places to check for leaks?
The window seals look ok to me and stays in contact with the glass, and it dosen't look like the sunroof is leaking.

Thanks for any help.
