Tail light gaskets

[bruce_lane]

Hello...

I was told by my local Toyota parts guy that they don't have tail light gaskets any more for my 89 turbo.

Anyone know where I can get a pair of these new. Or where I can get a sheet of some sort of dense EDPM foamy rubber 5mm thick and big enough to cut a new pair from? I have my old ones and could use them if I had to, but would prefer to reinstall my tail lights with new ones.

Thanks,
Bruce

I just bought a set from Toyota yesterday, although I'm in Vancouver Canada. There's gotta be a set somewhere in the US! Phone another dealership. You don't want any leaks.

I did only try one dealer. Could you give me the name and number of the dealer that you got your's from if I don't have any luck with dealers here?

BTW... sweet ride you have... very nice.

Talk to another dealer, or go in with these part numbers:

81554-14580 - Tail Gasket, RH
81564-14610 - Tail Gasket, LH

Thanks for the part numbers. I'm beginning to think the parts guy didn't want to go throught the trouble of actually finding them on his computer. I had him check for side moulding and front fender gaskets also (neither of those was available either). I'll check another dealer tomorrow.

thanks again...

Front fender gasket?

Call the guys that were recommended, they helped me everytime.

i just cut mine out with some of this gasket material form this local store.

 

[supra90turbo]

cryo: not the same stuff. the taillight gaskets are foam, and should be used. plus, they're only like $30 for both

 

[tsuper92]

go to a auto glass shop and ask for some butyl.they'll probably give it to you for nothing

yeah and the one i got were foam as well. i made a layout with paper and they cut it out for me for free.

Thanks for the responses. If I can't find some at a dealer, I'll have to make my own. However, from what I've heard here, I should be able to find them.

Front fender gasket?

Yeah, it's the thin, narrow rubber gasket that sits between the fender and the inner fender in the engine compartment where they bolt together.

That's the part number for the fender seal(s). Pretty sure it's still available, for $15.98 LIST.

 

[supra90turbo]

Oh, THOSE!
Mine were wicked dry-rotted and nearly gone.
Looks like I'm adding those to my list as well.

Thanks again for the part number. I'm really going to be po'd at this parts guy if I can find these too. Maybe when he said they weren't available any more, he meant he didn't have any in stock. Anyway, I'll have to call a couple more dealers this week.

No, sadly enough it's simply a cop-out.
He was too inexperienced/lazy or just thought you didn't want to buy and were just looking for prices.
It happens all the time.

It shouldn't, and I've never had it happen. It sickens me when I hear about it happening in other places.

What do you guys think of rubber gaskets for these tail lights? At least 1/4" thick. I can probably make some.
