.... You can't get out the car without making a noise  (or maybe that's just because I'm an old git) |

Looks like a lot of work done there!........ but would it not have been easier just modding a Supra front end to fix on?, will it be ok jarring in a pothole without falling off/cracking. Well done though! |

QUOTE (asdrewq @ Dec 6, 2012 - 12:32 PM)  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! Asrewq thats exactly the bit I was on about! Run your sealant around the grommets and it'll stop the water coming in. That butyl with the foam was absolutely sodden in mine (so just ripped it out). Hope thats you sorted now. where are you in UK?? |

QUOTE (richee3 @ Dec 1, 2012 - 11:30 PM) Reminds me of Dustin and Stef's featured Celica. Looks great!  I see the rare headlight covers on the high beams, and it looks like Euro skirts. Any more pictures?Will take some photos when it's clean and not raining Got the clear indicator lenses off a Glanza, the high beam covers were already there when I bought it and the side skirts quite unusual as far as I can tell. Had a look and haven't seen them on another yet  Thanks for the welcome everyone! |

QUOTE (asdrewq @ Dec 2, 2012 - 8:24 AM) 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? Half way up the A pillar you'll see a rubber grommet then above that anothe one letting the wiring into the car. These are the two (on each side of the car) you'll need to seal around. Water runs down the windscreen between the wing and the door getting in there and soaking your carpet. |

Hello there!, had the same problem both sides. Undo the wheel arch liner and you'll see to rubber grommets on the A pillar, simply put silicone sealant around them to seal it (same on both sides). Easier doing it from the outside in as theres a plasticky/foam cover on the inside you'll need to pull to bits!. Unblocking the sunroof drains: White wire cable you buy for hanging net curtains is ideal diameter and length to simply poke down and clear (you'll see the wire coming out the bottom of the car near the sill) Guarantee you it's the grommets that need sealed! |
