    I live in Long Beach and I'm having a problem--the rubber/felt seal on the outside of each moveable window is splitting and falling off. Has anyone heard of a recall or service order about this issue? Since it seems to be fairly common (and increasing) on the Gen II will Toyota fix this?

    I doubt Toyota will fix it under warranty. you will have to buy the parts and diy cause Toyota will hose you if you ask them to do it.

    I hope you dodn't apply something like armor-all to them. The rubber might be incompatible with things that work on vinyl.

    these parts are cheap and easy to replace. for you. 2007 seems to have had a rubber problem. if enough people will complain, they will do an extended warranty.
