I recently had a customer in need of a MKI power window regulator. This part has been deemed obsolete and no longer available from toyota. (BTW this was a super cool, english accent, ORIGINAL OWNER mki owner (although the car is 5 out of 10 condition, originally in for a smog failure for a broken vacuum line, causing inop egr.) When he saw mine in the parking lot he said "wow you have the new model"..lol.

This got me thinking.

My question is, while i have not run into a part that is not available from toyota, are there any parts no longer available?

These parts should be pulled from any mkiii found in junkyards, parted out, found in barns, etc. Although likely not i very good condition.

Try getting rear hatch glass. :(
That damn thing isn't just obsolete from Toyota, no manufacture in the United States produces one. I have heard that they can be ordered from a company in Japan for a nice fee. I said screw it and went to the junk yard.

Also the seat belts are no longer available from Toyota.


edit: Damn CyFi6 beat me to it

There are a LOT of obsolete MK3 parts, and more going obsolete every day. If there's anything you REALLY need, buy it now if you still can. That is my advice, haha.

Rear hatch glass is still available.
CT26 is still available.
Seat belts are still available, but only in Shadow Grey, no other colours.
Dash is not available.

Quarter panels are not available.
Sunvisors are not available.

Is shadow grey the light grey? I tried ordering these and after i placed my order they called back saying they were unavailable. Please let me know where i can get a drivers side seatbelt if shadow grey=light grey which is most common.
