    Does anyone know how to remove the trunk side moulding cover (highlighted) so I can check behind it? Have removed 2 bolts but the upper part of the moulding is held in place by the plastic panel above it. Water pours through the gap by the rear tailights and into this area then down to the trunk and rear seating.

    The Repair Manual (more info) explains, in the procedure for removing the roof headlining, how to remove the deck trim side panel assembly LH and RH. If you’re looking for a source available at no cost, see steps 6–14 (pages 11–17) of the Towbar Wiring Kit 13-pin Installation Instructions (PDF); the symbols are explained in a separate document (PDF).

    Toyota instructions are absolutely work of art. It is so enjoyable to read.
