Can't seem to install right side seal cowl piece.

[Nashville5thGen]

Hey all, my SR5 came missing this side seal piece. I ordered it from toyota, seems like it should be a very simple installation...but for some reason it will not stay put.

It feels like it clicks in well, but then 2 minutes into a drive it starts coming out again.

Am I missing something?

Remove it, check to make sure there is nothing obstructing any part of where it would go...
check to make sure the tabs that snap in are not damaged / deformed....

Thanks! Everything looks good, the tab on the bottom is just pretty flimsy. Going to put a small bead of silicone under it or something and hope it holds.

It acts as a wedge in a sense. I have re/re'd both sides myself. Place it low so that the top of the cowl trim is at the bottom receiving end is and then slide the entire piece in and then upwards.

I am missing both the driver and passenger side pieces, do you have the part number?

 

[Nashville5thGen]

I don't, sorry! I just went to Toyota and had the parts guy look it up.
