Well I just woke up my convertible from a long Winter nap and put the top down and was reminded of a problem I did not take care of last fall, the rear windows! The drivers side rear window falls off track and the passenger side window stays on track but seems a little off. I asked the boys at the local Toyota dealer to give me a price to fix it and they want both an arm and a leg! They talked about replacing motors and such and I thought the motor works, the window just seems to fall off track. I am sure this is a common problem but I am new to the convertible so I wanted to get input from this Celica community! Also, the roof leaks at the drivers side window and seems like I needs new seals?? The top is original, the car spent its entire life in Southern California until a few years ago. I am sure the top wasnt up much!! I appreciate any help to keep this baby going, she looks amazing! Kevin

Most likely you just have to replace the plate that has the little bushings. About 40-50 at the dealer I believe. It's a PITA though so get the alcohol and anger management classes ready. Hopefully yours will be less painful than mine was. |
