I would suggest this for any Car Or Truck: Get your car or truck under a shade, or start early sun rise. then lower the widows down on the side you are working on. Place the new roof molding on to the grove, just to see how it goes on. Make sure the Molding is the right one for the side. Make sure you clean the grooves very good, w/soap and water, I had to clean mine about 4-5 times, I got a 2011 Dodge Ram w/only 73,000 miles. But anyway, make sure you dry the groves when you are satisfied w/the cleaning. Then proceed to take off only one of the tapes covering the adhesive on the new moldings, that's if they came w/it, the last thing you want is to get dust on the adhesive and proceed to the next adhesive tab until you get to the end. Once the New Moldings are in place, I would put on some 6" Clamps, just above the adhesive area of the molding, and let it set there for a couple of hours, let the adhesive cure, and you are done. Now if you are using the same roof top moldings because they became unglued, and it happens w/time. Order some 3M-5200 Boat Adhesive, it is completely waterproof. Take several close up pictures of the ends of the molding as they are on the car or truck, so you can put them back on the same way, especially the Front End. Then take off the original moldings off, prep the groves very clean, and make sure they are dry. Clean the old roof top moldings really good, w/soap and water, and try to scrape off the old glue at the back side. Take your time, have patience. After washing the original moldings, make sure they are completely dry, it is a must. Do one side completely first, so you won't mix up the moldings. So once clean, prep the 3M-5200 Boat Adhesive, and use the small plastic cone shape cap. Run a small bead of the 3M-5200 inside the groove, w/in the middle area, put it from one end to the other, and then slowly put the Original Moldings back on. Once on, put some masking tape on top of the molding, and press lightly on to the moldings, at the ends on the tape just pench the ends so when you take them off, just pull on it, .Use the clamps, not too tight, just enough to press on the moldings down ward, I used 5 clamps on the Truck. Please pay attention to the front of the moldings, if not then rain water could very well go into the inside of your car or truck. I let the 3M-5200 adhesive dry all day, Be careful w/the tube, the aluminum tube is very flimsy, it can break open very easily, also the cone shape cap does not get too tight, you can easily strip the plastic cap. I got the 3M-5200 from Amazon for about $10.00, and so instead of buying new Moldings at $260.00 each, I just spent the 10 Dollars, and I let the adhesive dry, I left my truck in the drive way. Make sure the day you are working on your car or truck that it is not going to rain for the day. After you take off the clamps, be very careful when pulling off the tape. You don't want the tape to pull on the moldings, just pull a little at a time, I had a small scraper that match the with of the groove, and I press on the molding w/the scraper from behind the tape as I pull it off If you want, you can lightly spray paint the Original Moldings, w/black lacquer, don't use anything else after you clean them really good and give it plenty of time to dry completely , don't use any silicone spray paint you will ruin the moldings.. . Good Luck, I hope I was able to help someone.
Thanks for uploading this video. I have to do it for my 2012 Ram 1500. It came off after I ran it through the drive through carwash. I wasn't even upset about it. The truck is 11 years old. I figure any adhesive that's on it would probably start wearing away by now.
Great video, I cant seem to keep mine on though, have replaced with genuine Toyota parts. They still come off in a carwash, think this is a design flaw by Toyota and that double sided white sticky tape that is supposed to hold down the front end breaks down quickly. Definitely needs a better engineered solution. Was wondering if other 2020 Tundra owners were seeing same issue?
Nope. I don’t think it has any effect on keeping weather out. It honestly seems like it’s an ascetic thing. I think the newer 2022+ Tundras don’t even have these things……I think.
I don’t think it does anything for waterproofing. There’s a chance it helps with wind noise. But I’d say the biggest downside to not having it would be the aesthetics.
Mine is missing on the driver side and yes there was a drip of water that came out under the dash right over the fuse panel. I live in Florida and it rains hard here. It never leaked before.
Not totally sure the best place to buy those, but you want to look for part 75553 (Right) and 75554 (Left/Driver). Those are the parts for those back corners.
Not sure it’s normal, it’s also not uncommon. Car washes (especially the ones with the super strong blow dryer at the end) are known to displace those roof trim pieces. I’ve lost one in the car wash before on my Tundra.
I have a 2003 Toyota tundra 4 door access cab with these drip moldings. Are these used to install roof bar clips as well? I have bars already and just trying to find the right fit kit, but my searches have been inconclusive so far. Any tips would be greatly appreciated.
Typically yes….well, sort of. Of the roof bar clips I’ve seen, the top of the clip itself would hook onto the edge of this drip railing. Then the bottom part of the clip would wrap down into where the top of the door meets the cab. Those kinda clamp together to hold the tower that holds the crossbar. There seems to be limited options online for those Gen 1 Tundras unfortunately. There’s a decent subreddit for tundras and you might find some folks there who have already got there’s set up. Best of luck!
Mine didn’t snap in at all; just sort of sank in. Even the front clip doesn’t give a great positive click, but you can at least press it into place and then pull the tabs without lifting it off again
@@DadDoingStuff, it flaps around outside my window when i go through it. they have a 2in double-sided tape in the front holding the whole thing down. thinking about putting double sided tape all way way to the back.
My truck had them both gone. I ordered new ones but can’t tell which goes where. One front tab faces left, the other right? Does the tab on the end face in or out?
The tab in question makes a 90 degree bend right at the end. That part should be pointing towards the inside or middle of the truck. They should NOT be facing the outside of the truck. Hopefully that makes sense.
To my knowledge, no. I don't think this molding provides any type of protection from leaks. Sounds to me like you potentially have an issue with the rubber door seal itself, or possibly a leak somewhere on the edge of the windshield.
I have one have had this problem but I’ve taken that cover off and it opens almost directly into the inside of the a-pillar so possibly windshield side molding might not look bad but the glue could’ve separated somewhere or somethings of that nature or if not maybe it could’ve been not the best windshield installer if it’s been replaced
Water leak by the front grab handles on the 2nd gen sequoias and tundras with sunroof is a common issue. Root cause (95% of the time): sunroof drain lines are clogged up. These drain tubes run along the A-Pillar and water drains out under the vehicle behind the front wheels. To unclog the drain tube, open the sun roof. Drain holes are located at the front 2 corner of the sunroof. First, Clean up the area around the drain hole to remove debris, dirt, leaves, etc. Then, gently feed a weedwacker plastic string down the drain pipe to clear out the pipe. Please be careful during this process. Drain tubes are made out plastic. Lastly, pour water slowly over by the drain area of the sunroof to ensure water is properly draining out under the vehicle.

@@DadDoingStuff ah okay thank you. I have a Tundra 19' and I saw a dry water stain on my headlinee (rear driver side) close to the grab handle. I thought water was going thru that ggap.
I honestly don’t know how the drip molding would keep water out. It definitely doesn’t seem like it’s water tight in that channel. My guess is that isn’t the source of your leak, unless there is some kind of actual hole in that channel. I would think it’s the rubber door seal that’s leaking. Probably have to break out the hose for troubleshooting. If you do find the leak, I’d love to know what it is. Good luck!
No. The driver side (left side) part is 75552-0C060. You can Google that part number and find several place that have it. Note that both of these are listed as be for a crewmax withOUT a sunroof. Hope that helps.
Find the best one out therein make sure you put plenty , I skimped the first and second times and it came off the third time i put plenty and its still holding@@nedrat

this must be a real common problem......just bought a 2017 tundra with drip molding missing on passenger side....thank you for video
Glad to help Steve! Yeah seems like these drip moldings weren’t entirely thought out well.
Great video, I cant seem to keep mine on though, have replaced with genuine Toyota parts.

I had one viewer say he used super glue to glue his down. No clue if that works, but might be worth a shot? 🤷🏻♂️
Oh, and I noticed that the new gen Tundra (2022+) doesn’t have these rubber gutter strip things!
Thanks for the video Same problem here Passenger side is gone on my platinum crew max
They certainly don’t hang on super well. But luckily it’s a really easy fix! Cheers!
Thanks for this video! Totally what I was looking for and with great instructions!
Happy to help out!
Dude....nice and simple, thanks!
Happy to help dude!
Thanks for the video. I just bought a 2019 mitsubishi outlander, and that bad boy was flapping in the wind after i left the car wash.😂
LOL! Yeah the car wash is culprit #1 every time!
I ended up using epoxy on the front of mine as it kept getting pulled off in car wash. Seems to be fine now.
Great idea!
Did you have any leaking in the cab with it off during rain
Nope. I don’t think it has any effect on keeping weather out. It honestly seems like it’s an ascetic thing. I think the newer 2022+ Tundras don’t even have these things……I think.
Was told at a toyota dealership its cosmetic not for weather
I have a 2019 Toyota tundra king cab. Besides appearances do I really have to replace the molding? Or is it really used for leak prevention? Thanks.
Looking at the drip molding on my Yaris, it looks only cosmetic to cover the channel. It doesn’t seal anything
I don’t think it does anything for waterproofing. There’s a chance it helps with wind noise. But I’d say the biggest downside to not having it would be the aesthetics.
Mine is missing on the driver side and yes there was a drip of water that came out under the dash right over the fuse panel. I live in Florida and it rains hard here. It never leaked before.
It took 7 years before i lost one. Hence watching this video. Question: Where do i find, besides Toyota, the back 6 inch corner piece?
Not totally sure the best place to buy those, but you want to look for part 75553 (Right) and 75554 (Left/Driver). Those are the parts for those back corners.

I added clear silicone along the part to glue it
Probably a good call to help keep them in place!
Did you think of replacing the retaining clips? They're only $2 apiece, but I don't know how they attach to the roof a there's no adhesive.
Never really paid much attention to those as they seemed to be attached just fine. Just really wished these trim strips were only $2!!
I paid $100 for a OEM set. Ridiculous.@@DadDoingStuff
Mine didn’t snap in at all; just sort of sank in. Even the front clip doesn’t give a great positive click, but you can at least press it into place and then pull the tabs without lifting it off again
🤔 Sounds a little odd, but if it’s holding…..
@@DadDoingStuff same with my tacoma! That's why I'm here watching. Looks like I'll be adding some of my own VHB tape to that mf!
Mine Flys off with the wind dryers at car wash. Idk what to do or just leave it off.

Do you think that the Roof molding is interchangeable with a tacoma?
I highly doubt it. Sizes would be different.
Does this cause a water leak on the grab handle inside the vehicle for 07-13 dub cab? Trying to troubleshoot this problem

Has anyone found a cheaper alternative to these drip moldings ( like another cars molding that fits ) they are $80 EACH! 😅
LOL….maybe that’s where I keep losing them!
Toyota dealer here wants $175 - gah.
I can’t fathom why these things cost so much. Ridiculous!

Had the same piece fly off my Lexus the other day
I love Toyota/Lexus but I struggle with why these come off so easily.
Does the long and short molding leave a gap or do they meet?
There is a small gap towards the back where this piece meets the one coming up from the back corner. Not a big gap, but there is a little space there.
