Sorry you most probably did it's just I don't have a high opinion of Toyota dealerships when it comes to ownership of this car Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Cerastes 204 Report post Posted September 14, 2017 They seem to be doing ok for me; no hurdles... yet. Shouldn't be a problem to fit for them either. Hopefully the part arrives soon. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Cerastes 204 Report post Posted November 9, 2017 Finally after weeks chasing, I have been given an appointment to get a new part fitted on the 20th Nov. So I'll see if I can get some pics of the new part. 1 Gary p reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Robert Williams 2 Report post Posted December 2, 2017 If any one is interested the metal strip, rubber, clips, are £33.56 from toyota, just replace them it a lot easier than stripping it down and repainting it. 1 Lauren reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Lauren 2259 Report post Posted December 2, 2017 Thanks that's useful to know now mine is way out of warranty. Although knowing me, I'll probably just leave it rusting, adds character and all that. 1 TommyC reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Interesting read. Do you happen to know the part numbers? Are the new parts better finished to avoid corrosion in the future? Thanks. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

VAD17 479 Report post Posted February 25, 2018 Ok, my GT86 is only 8 mth old, but the rubber strip under the bonnet already feeld a bit loose when the hood is opened. No wonder its prone to rust.Looks like acf50 is enough to prevent it, or do I need the strip to be replaced as well?Sent from my SM-G930F using Tapatalk Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Cerastes 204 Report post Posted February 25, 2018 Up to you if you want to use ACF50 on it, or just get Toyota to replace it for free. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
VAD17 479 Report post Posted February 25, 2018 Will get a can of acf50 for now, but if the strip keep getting looser will ask Toyota to replace it anyway.Thanks for the heads up what to look for, btw.Sent from my SM-G930F using Tapatalk Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
VAD17 479 Report post Posted April 16, 2018 Sorry, reviving thisDoes anyone have a part number or link to replacement seal? I put some acf50 and current one just peels off leaving gap when i close the bonnet. Thinking I should either superglue it back to metal or replace altogether. May need to call Toyota to ask. Its disappointing considering the car in not even 1y old... and my right pillar trim is coming off as well, more glue? .

Cerastes 204 Report post Posted April 16, 2018 @VAD17 I don't think it had a part number on the one Toyota put in, I can check. But I think it's just a bit of plastic. Get in touch with Toyota, they will replace it for free; saves having to use your acf50. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Glen@waxandshine 9 Report post Posted April 16, 2018 It seems every car has their little flaws when it comes to rust/faults. I sell a product called hydrate 80 from bilt hamber for converting rust and protecting further, also dynax UC which is a clear spray wax for stopping corrosion and protecting, check out the website for more info.

VAD17 479 Report post Posted April 16, 2018 I have already sprayed it wirh acf50 (nice and oily), but the strip itself just gets looser (not sure if its visible on the photo, may be will take another tomorrow with open bonnet).Will call Toyota, luckily there is a dealership less than 2 miles away. Smth to do for the weekend...Sent from my SM-G930F using Tapatalk Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Hello..bit of a thread bump, but did we find out the part number? Checked mine the other day..rusted to buggery, but I'm out of warranty by a few months. For the sake of 30 quid, happy to replace it myself if it's easy to do. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Dont know the part number, but took it to Toyota and was told it needs to be shipped from Japan and I will get my replaced end on May.Annoying, but I am happy to wait. In the meantime I put some acf50.When I get a receipt will share the part number if its on it.Sent from my SM-G930F using Tapatalk Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

It's just the last time I had to deal with a parts department, they were less than helpful if you didn't know the exact name of what you were looking for. So I tend to look up part numbers in advance. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
popkid 16 Report post Posted May 26, 2018 Noticed mine was pretty rusty too, took it off today with the thought I was going to clean it off and refit, but in places there wouldn't be much left once the rust was removed! Called dealer and the metal strip is £15.60 including VAT so just ordered a new one, should be in on Wednesday. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
