CF Factory Spoiler - Seal Pushed Out & Dealer Clueless

[contra-flow]

I have a Final Edition Supra and there seems to be a seal or gasket under the stock carbon fiber spoiler that is stated coming out after a few months.

I finally went to a Toyota Service Center and they said they have no documentation of the part being installed from the factory and they are not sure what to do about it.

Anyone have any idea what the part number might be?

It's double sided tape/weather stripping seal. It's no big deal just push it back in.

People can't think for themselves.

Not that easy oh smarty pants, it keeps coming out. Mine is doing it too

Since the lip is glued down with some incredibly strong adhesive, there's no way its coming off without damaging everything. It doesn't really push back in (just slides back out). I decided to cut mine.

I slid a thin kitchen cutting board under the material that is squirting out, then took a blade and carefully cut it away. But as its getting hotter it is still sliding out a tiny bit. I've trimmed it twice already. Hopefully it will stop moving around. Argh

apparently its some glue, not necessarily 3m tape(could be both). try taking it to a different toyota dealership and ask them to fix it or something, before you start getting water under there(its bolted on, not just adhesive/tape) and messing up something else.

It’s also held down by 2 bolts. Loosen the bolts and tuck and retighten the bolts.

No need to be a dick about it, you could have just not commented. You really make the community seem so welcoming.

Thanks for the info. I’ll try another dealer if I don’t hear back soon.

It's probably the same/similar to the old A91 wings. There was a listing for a new one a few years back that shows the bolts and tape.

Maybe loosen the bolts, trim the excess tape, then retighten.

Some Toyota dealerships have autobody shops attached or close by. I had to have the Toyota emblem in the front replaced, so the dealership took my car to the local Toyota Collision Center to have it done. The Toyota emblem in the back had to be swapped, also because someone thought that the red emblem would look better than the black as an "option", so swapped out the black with red at the port-of entry, I believe. Again, the Toyota Collision center was tasked with swapping the red back to black.

^ This is usually how it works, especially with a car like the Supra. Whenever I had to get my window actuator replaced they kept trying to send me to their collision center. (I eventually just used a 3rd party shop because I did not feel like losing my car for 2+ weeks like always happens with collision centers)

I guess I was lucky, as each time, I waited for only 2 -3 hours at the dealership for the work to get done.

Depends if the dealer itself is equipped to deal with body work at all, or maybe they don't hire idiots so they can actually handle just fixing weather stripping / glue on a spoiler piece. I'd cherish that!
