Hello everyone, I am new to Toyota Owners Club but not new to Toyotas. I've had my 1978 Corolla Liftback since 2009, and I love it! Both my windshield and rear glass (on the hatch) leak terribly when it rains. The gaskets are dry and cracked, and quite obviously need to be replaced. The trouble is that I cannot find replacements anywhere! I am hoping that some kind person on this forum has an idea of where I could get them. The original gaskets used chrome-colored plastic inserts, but I'd be just as happy with all-black "California-style" gaskets, depending on what's available. Because there were so many different body styles for Corollas during this time, I've attached a picture of mine below. The chassis number is TE51. My understanding is that the different body styles (sedan, wagon, liftback, etc.) all used different windshields, and therefore different windshield gaskets as well. Thank you for your help! Adam

I am selling my 83 Toyota P/U. Is there any recommendations on where to sell?

Update:according to my dealership the odor is caused by the windows’ seals. The have clean the interior of the doors and will replace the seals.

I found some very helpful youtube videos and if I can't DIY, I will take to a mechanic.

It’s not the drive cables! Toyota is using plastic worm gears that can strip just from your weight in normal traffic! Very very poor quality designed to provide work for Toyota service departments. Very very very dangerous and negligent design. My advice is to avoid purchasing Toyota/Lexus products made after 2021. The are the Japanese Ford now! They have a new “Design for profit”. Trade in or fox choice!

I am running Fuel treatment. Fuel injector cleaner actually. My mechanic recognizes the issue, told to use it me to use it and tells me it is running properly other wise. But I will make sure he checks for vacuum leaks again. Thanks for responding
