    Has anybody else experianced leaking in the corners? Is Toyotas shitty roof trim to blame? Is it the back glass? What are people doing to combat this? I have a prinsu rack but was leaking before. Anybody... Help!

    Is the roof rail trim still in place? Do you have a roof rack?

    Wait! You (not you) have a roof leak and then you proceeded to install a roof rack?

    Not sure that was the best course of action.

    Thanks for your opinion. I mean you had a stupid useless comment and still decided to post. Not the best course of action...

    Can't help the helpless.

    Here's the real advice. Either investigate the problem yourself... there's only 3 potential points of intrusion (3rd brake light, door seal, or roof seals)...

    Short of you doing that, take it to a shop.

    Problem solved!

    You had a baseline of something obviously failed, which you could have pointed back to Toyota, but then went and installed an aftermarket piece, which now may/not have added to this leak.

    was that the best course of action on your part? Or are you here to call people out?

    Had mine done. Remember not to take it to a car wash for 24 hours after the work is done! Some people didn't receive that advice.

    maybe not to you (now), but for any other members who decides to add another dynamic into an existing issue, it will hopefully be helpful.
