LEAKING WEATHER STRIPS; DOORS AND ROOF
Hello,
I have a '93 T-BAR, import - non turbo. Unfortunately, after using stick-on-strips for two winters, I find myself having to buy brand new, complete weather strips, for roof and doors.
Please can anyone advise as to where I can get a brand new set (4), and for the lowest price? A dealer, who states they are "genuine Toyota parts" - in Wales charges charges £540 - ouch! I appreciate we have modern classics, and we have to pay more for parts, but just wondered if anyone can better this? I wrote to a dealer on ebay, but he did not even have the courtesy to reply - so no luck there!
Many thanks.
Nell

Re: LEAKING WEATHER STRIPS; DOORS AND ROOF
If the "dealer" in Wales was Neil Jones then I'm not surprised, at least Dick Turpin had the decency to wear a mask. Wouldn't buy anything from him
Try MR2Ben https://mr2-ben.co.uk/products/42
or TCBparts (give them a call) http://www.tcbparts.co.uk/
or even Twos R Us in the USA http://twosrus.com/catalog/index.php?cP ... =2a&page=2

Jimi - you are a hero - thanks! No, I do not know the Dick Turpin you refer to, but will definitely try TCB Parts and MR2 Ben, as they are UK co's. As a lawyer, I am too aware of buying from overseas (like the USA one), as Old Blighty, has the best Consumer Rights law under the 2015 Act, which protect us, the public
Thanks again.
Thanks again.

Richard Turpin aka John Palmer. Thoroughly nasty piece of work.
He never rode to York, nor did he have a horse called Black Bess.
The romantic image of him is pure literary fiction.

Tony - I love your sense of humour, and many thanks for describing Dick Turpin's Other Talents; I am grateful for warning

Success on the above subject!
Thank you Jimi and Tony - what a thoroughly decent, and professional chap is "Paul" (one of the directors) at TCB Toyota Parts. He is extremely knowledgeable, polite and his company, who have been around since '89 are exemplary dealers. For my car, complete set of rubber seals (2 doors and 2 targa strips), he charges only £391.37 - including VAT, and Next-day-delivery! If one buys from one of the other dealers mentioned, or Mr Toyota himself (!), you are looking at anything from £200 to £300 MORE - one being pre-VAT.
N.B. Paul said they do ALL PARTS for Celica, MR2 (all 3 marques) and Supra's. They have a very large stock, so best to telephone, and speak to "Gent Paul"/chaps at their depot!
I cannot recommend enough - no more showers in SLY (my car!)

it was our pleasure to assist with these parts for Sly and keep yourself "Car Shower" free
Thank You

Re: LEAKING WEATHER STRIPS; DOORS AND ROOF
I and many other members have dealt with TCB many times over the years, which is why we tend to recommend phoning them them.
First time I dealt with them I spoke with Trevor (Paul's dad ?? ) very knowledgeable about MK1's and the refurbished tie bars I got from them at time were excellent
Excellent company to deal with.
