Sc 430 Leeking Roof

[J14HMY]

I have a lexus sc430 2001 model & the roof is leaking on the back passenger seat . I think the seal is worn on it . Anyone any ideas on how to fix this problem ?

I take it you have rain drops on the seat, I once had this, I removed the internal panels and got the wife to pour water on the roof and saw where it came in and filled the hole with black mastic,if you open the roof and stop it half way you can check for any splits in the rubber,a new seal from lexus was about 167 if I remember right, but it was a 3 day wait, and it took me a morning to do the change over,it was fairly tricky to do though, if you opt for a new one, fit it in place and do the bolts before removing the tape cover.

Thanks for the reply John . Where did you purchase a new seal from & does it come with instructions ?

Here in leeds lexus and Toyota are at the same place where

I ordered it from the parts counter, I'm trying to keep mine as original as possible, I've put new wheels on mine but saved the original ones in case I sell ever!.so I always stick to main dealers.
