car seats/leaking T top

lsjohnston · 10-14-2008, 02:36 PM

I found leather racing seats on Ebay for only $145 for a pair. They are supposed to fit MR2's. ( I have a 1991) Does anybody have any experience with these?
Also, my T top leaks. Any suggestions?

Do the seats come with rails? Or does it say to use the stock ones? I don't have any experience with them, but post a link and I'm sure someone might be able to chime in.

Regarding your t-tops, you want to change out your weather strips and seals. Email Aaron Willis at Lithia Toyota (awillis@lithia.com). He is a board sponsor and give us some great deals on OEM parts.

And welcome to the Board!

While you wait for some replacement seals you can try smearing some petroleum jelly around the seals to help stem the flow. It is messy but so is a wet interior.

Oh and

My MR2 T-tops developed a leak. On a hunch, I pulled out a spare mouse pad I had and sliced up a thin strip. I placed the strip between the glass and the seal, then locked the top in. It worked absolutely perfect and was a super cheap fix. No leaks! Give it a try. Good luck!

Custom Stitched Logo
Fully Reclineable
Firm Shoulder and Kidney Support
Included Universal Sliders
Cover Material: High quality PVC Leather

Anybody got an opinion? This is about 1/4 of the price of leather seat covers.
