Hey everyone - does anyone know an alternate source of t-bar seals other than Mr T himself? I've a quote of over £400 (inc VAT) for replacing the seals on my mk2.
I've had enough of wet bum syndrome!!! There's got to be a better way!
Merry Christmas too... and of course, Happy New Year!

Re: T-Bar Seals
clingfilm and sealant works well too, article in the knowledge base. Lubricating / restorer spray for the rubber also used with varying results

Re: T-Bar Seals
wasn't there some one on here not so long ago who bought some from the states? I know before everyone starts crowing the exchange rates have dropped etc but I still think there was a saving to be had.
By the way have you tried the offset pin mod yet?
The search button can be useful - hint hint.

Re: T-Bar Seals
Try a search -there's loads of T Bar seal stuff turns up -just remember to click "search for all terms".
I think the place folk have got cheaper OEM seals is something like "Dallas Toyota". Think they're advertised about half the price I paid for T ones.

Re: T-Bar Seals
I bought mine from Dallas Toyota about 6 weeks ago. Got both sides inc postage for what Mr T UK wanted for one (£205 I think). Skywalker fitted them for me and other than still needing some adjustment to the o/s door glass to clear some wind noise all is good. No more soaking (and I do mean soaking) carpets.

...so who are these Dallas Toyota people? Is it these folk:

...and how do you order from them? Web Site? E-Mail? Telephone?
...and finally, what about import tax etc etc?
£205 sounds reasonable for a dry backside!
(I'm also going to try the other options in the mean time, but new ones sound ideal).

Before you replace the seals, it may be worthwhile to install new eccentric rod pockets (63284-17030) or eccentric rod guides (63283-17040)

Re: T-Bar Seals
I ordered online and paid by CC. £205 was all inc of taxes and delivery. You just need the 4 part no.s (2 each side). If you search for the orig. thread I think you'll find them there...
