4th Gen Windshield Moulding w part #s

[4RunnerAquasport]

Happy 4th of July Everyone!

I'm starting this thread not so much for discussion, but so that folks might find this information easier than if it was buried in my build thread.

The right and left windshield moulding of my 03' was cracking and the driverside section between the top of the windshield and the roof rack mount, had started to flop around at hwy speed. I also noticed the floor board getting a little wet in heavy rain, so maybe the seal had been breached.

The windshield had a small chip and subsequent star shaped cracks from a debris hit for a few months. So I did some research and found the right moulding and filed an insurance claim to have it replaced. Then I could have the techs replace the moulding at the same time.

Part # pic is right and left sides respectively.

I guess some members can't see the pictures of the part #s

It's one piece from the bottom of the windshield to the roof rack mount? i always thought it was two pieces. The top part of mine is coming out too. Do you know if this piece is glued in or pressed in?

Yes, it is one piece on my 03'.
I don't think they changed it in later years, but you never know.

I don't know if it's glued or pressed in. It seems to me the windshield section should be glued and fit in a groove. But, when my oem moulding came apart between the windshield and rack mount, I don't remember any evidence of glue from the factory. So it might be a press in fit between the corner of the windshield and the rack mount.

Actually, I should have thought about asking the techs if they glued it.

I was scared to pull mine off to check. I'll wait until I have the replacements on hand. $75 each! Is that around what you paid? Crazy prices for some rubber.

Sounds about right. I can't find the confirmation email to know what I paid.

I have this same issue now and just ordered the two parts (left and right side.) (03 SR5 V8 2WD) I am curious how you reinstalled. Do we need a tape or an adhesive spray? Or did they just "press in" tight with a good hold? Thanks!

Hey it looks like I have this same issue developing on my 4th Gen. did you end up using adhesive or do the press in?

I have 2008 and badly need to replace these mouldings, along with sunroof molding, and rear window moldings. Cracked and falling apart.

On my 2008, the side moldings on the windshield are one piece from bottom of windshield and they go up the sides of windshielf, over top of roof, and length of entire roof.

That’s strange because the profile of the Moulding in that FSM does not match my 2007. My looks like the original post and they have a little channel that I actually tuck my light bar wiring into on the passenger side.

The more I mess with mine and looking at the parts list explosion illustration I think there’s a second clip that the rubber Moulding snaps onto. I think I’ll just order the mouldings and see what they look like when they come in and go from there.

This diagram shows moulding fits 2006-2009.

Didn't realize the moulding is split under the rack bar attachment, so there are actually two or three moulding parts to cover the roof, per side.

Yeah mine stop right before the first roof rack mounting point on each side. Hoping the new ones just clip into place but not looking forward to having to remove the roof rack to swap them out.

Can anyone respond with what they determined as the mounting method? i.e. Does the roof rack have to be removed? Does the replacement include clips or is it glued?

Try again.

Why does this site mess up my pdf uploads every time? But then when I go edit, remove, and reupload, they work fine. Annoying. Is the forum software not up to date?

Starting from the bottom at the windshield cowl, it slips into a "slot" as you move up the windshield. This slot is between a white plastic piece that is riveted into the A pillar. When the molding reaches the top of the windshield it gets very thing in order for it to make the transition to the top of the vehicle. The molding has 2 different sizes of 3M tape which is pretty thick.

When you go to replace it start from the top and pull up as you go down towards the cowl. After removal make sure you clean the area very well. Blow out any dirt or debris down the A pillar. you might need to get a little screwdriver/molding tool to clean it out. Look closely as the white plastic piece is in that channel for sure. I have used the Toyota FIPG right under the thin part at the top of the A pillar to make it sit down closer to the body.
I seem to go thru windshields every 2 years or so and replace my moldings about every other time.
If you ever have your windshield replaced and you discover water or moisture under your floor mat it is usually caused by the sealant at the top corner of the windshield. I had a bad leak one time that took me forever to track down. The water will run down inside the A pillar and drip under the carpet/padding by your left foot. A huge PITA for sure.

Hope this helps.

Thanks, working now.

The forum software is very outdated unfortunately.

2007 Windshield Moulding

Folks, I have the same issue with my 07 4Runner windshield side moulding. It came loose and started flapping when I was driving 70 mph down I95. I stopped and pressed it back in after tucking the bottom of the moulding into the top of the cowl. It's come loose again so i need to do a more permanent fix. I did some research and sounds like the moulding has an adhesive strip on the bottom where you have to peel off the paper-like cover to reveal the adhesive. Is that what you saw? Also, the diagrams show a "windshield fastener No. 1" that looks like it sits below the moulding. Does that need to be replaced as well? n

Any input is welcome and appreciated.

Thanks

Bob
