Replacement 80 series sunroof seals (1 Viewer)

[Malleus]

I bought my replacement glass with seal installed from Dave.

Unlike the 100 series/LX470 sunroofs, the 80 series sunroof was designed with a permanently attached seal. It's very complex and my guess is that Toyota thought their complexity would overcome nature. I give them an A+ for effort and D- for execution.

I appreciate the heads up, I have reached out to Dave. He has already wrote back.

I found this thread today after receiving part 63252-60010 “Weatherstrip Sliding” from an EBay vendor in Japan. My goal was to find out how to install this.

It doesn’t look at all like the felt seal that surrounds the glass from my 96 LX450.

This is an example of what I received

At the very least, don’t buy this part

This is obviously a part in the EPC, but I've never seen it. Maybe it's on the sunroof pan, but I'd have to look; it doesn't ring a bell.

The glass seal is supplied to Toyota on the glass. I have not found a supplier to source it from, nor have I had any luck having someone reproduce it, at a reasonable cost. Both the sunroof and windshield seals on the 80 series were works of art. The guys who designed them went overboard.

Here's a better view:

Apparently, there is a front and a rear seal on the pan. I've never paid any attention to it, because I've never seen one leak.

The sunroof seal on my 92 seems different than the later model seals. The later ones don't have the felt.

Any update on sourcing a seal?

Would be a buyer on this if you find something!

Very interested as well.

New member here. I'd certainly buy a replacement seal, having just bought the same weatherstrip from Japan which lines the inside front of the aperture!
