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

The local Master Tech at Kings Toyota did it for me and it was not an easy job! Glad I didnt try it myself! I have a used window regulator that came out of it, it was good but already bought a new one so I had them replace it.. Maybe eBay it?? Drove the car in the opening day parade at the county fair and it was a hit, too bad they dont make them anymore!
