See if this one works. Couldn't take it any longer, it was time to take a look under my windshield trim

Yes, this is something you can do yourself. But, you need the right tools, the right jigs, and the right level of patience. You can use the standard rivet tool you find at your local Harbor Freight, but you will need a DIYers jig to make it work properly. You also need to protect the...

It looks like the 75543-60020, or 75531-60030. One is the left side the other one is the right side--I don't recall which one is which. Yours looks like it's missing the bottom part, which is a rubber piece in a triangular shape. Inside of this one goes the "garnish", 75533-60060, or...

The 56117A shown in the diagram goes underneath the windshield, where the windshield sits. I think it serves as a bumper and noise-reduction. The side trims is the 75543-60020 (it is now 75543-60030), and the thin strip is 75543-60050 (I believe they call is a garnish.)

Sorry, I completed the work and didn't take pictures. Mine is a 2005 LX-470. Had to replace the bottom engine skid plate--rust everywhere. Had to rebuild the spare tire frame, brackets, bolts and pulley-rust everywhere. Had to rebuild the emergency brake crank inside the drums--all rusted...

I'm disappointed with the overall design/factory install. Mine was leaking from the top, left corner (driver side). I'm the only owner. Pulled out the trims and there is rust underneath, wtf! It appears as if water gets under the top rubber trim, runs under the rubber until it meets the...

Yes, the side trim is actually 3 parts put together. Along the side of the windshield, the inside of the side trim has a thin rubber cover that basically hides the rivets. It runs on the inside channel from about 1 in. from both ends, top and bottom. You may pick it with your finger or thin...

You can remove and replace the side trims but not the top one. The side trims are riveted in. You should replace those rivets with the Toyota brand, which are wrapped with plastic at the bottom and have a black head. The top trim is all rubber and sits underneath the windshield. I tried to...

2001 LC, can you elaborate a bit on removing the rivets on the side moulding of the windshield? Is this the right sequence? 1. Knock through the center shank of rivet. 2. Drill the rivet out 3. Remove moulding I'm a little confused.

2001 LC, great post! My 2005 LX developed a water leak coming from the top left corner of the windshield. There is a little bit of rust in that corner under the side/top moulding that allows water to sip in from underneath the rubber under the windshield (it is very small and is totally...

Sweet! Thanks. That helped a lot.

Does anyone know if the top moulding sits underneath the glass, or just on the edge? I want to remove mine with the windshield on, but need to put it back on. I don't want to pull it too hard, afraid that it will break, leaving a strip underneath the glass.

I can't find post #193. I only see 19 posts before mine.

I know this is an old thread, but was wondering if someone has the specifics on how to remove and replace the side trims of the windshield. Situation... 2005 LX-470, only owner--windshield never replaced. Developed a water leak from the top left corner (driver side). Water drips on my thigh...
