Where can I get this part? (Roof Rail Weatherstripping)

[pudzley]

Washed my car for the first time and noticed this rubber piece that fills the roof rail is missing. Looks like this part is around $85 from Toyota... any chance someone has a used one they are looking sell? Is it critical that I put this in or OK to leave it like it is? Thanks!

It's okay to run without it. They just fill that channel so it doesn't get clogged with leaves and debris but water flows under them. They tend to get blown out in carwashes. Yes they are that expensive but you can sometimes find them cheaper by entering the part number in ebay or if you're getting more OEM parts just order through partsouq for a good discount but high shipping. Ordering more stuff will make it more worth it.

If you know the part #, you can try rockauto.com - they typically have good prices. When I recently bought a windshield A pillar molding, I Google searched and found a TOY dealer in AZ with an online parts dept. that had the best shipped price (go figure). Good luck.
