I meant, "Dealer only", not "sealer only" ... freudian slip thank you so much Joe for this info, I can't believe it was posted so specifically! I've got the EXACT same symptoms on my 2000 Sienna, water pooling , severely I (I'm in Seattle ....) on both sides of the front floor. In investigating it, I was very puzzled by the amount of water leaking out the rear hatch door when it was lifted. Now it seems clear why! Is the seal replacement a "Dealer only" option, or do you think there could be a home remedy? Thanks again for posting |

Replying to: car5608 (Apr 21, 2009 1:46 pm) Listen folks, this is without a doubt, a manufacturing defect and a severe health issue, and they are refusing to pay for it. We are talking about a serious health issue here, in some cases it sends people to the hospital if not death. That's why I am standing the ground and making these people pay for it, IT'S THEIR PROBLEM AND YOU SHOULD NOT PAY FOR IT. I've noticed a patern, they all deny that the problem exists with other customers, here's the classic -"nothing is in our database about this problem". Then why in the world Toyota re-designed the rear hatch seal????? ( maybe they were just boured...and woke up one day, "hey, lets design something different today!!! WOW!) I had this leak problem since I bought the van 2 years ago, now it's unbearable smell of mold and rotting smell of death! I've had it with this people, if they don't fix it I am t  aking them to court. Guess what, they will pay a lot more than a mere carpet and a seal! Please contact the Toyota Corporation at the number above, if enough people make noise, maybe, just maybe, they'll do something. Please pass the word around, these water leak problems that I've read in posts similar to this one, reports problems from years '98 to '06. I feel bad for these folks, because they are stuck with it and not knowing what to do. (You would think, that the great TOYOTA would help you...NOT!) Hope this helps.

Replying to: jmbuddies (May 16, 2009 3:16 pm) it and the problem lingers on.it took acouple of years of this reacurring problem to get bad enough where i had to have someone else diagnose and repair leak from rear hatch.hanging carpet out to dry,and spraying with lysol the floor and carpets nuetralized the odor.i did notice with the carpet removed up in the front floor boards,area's rusted from this since ,off and on for awhile i noticed a odor,musty and moldy at times,little did i know i had water below my feet. well good luck with getting Toyota to step up and Fix. LET US ALL KNOW HOW YOU MAKE OUT. ' |

I have yet to find the time to get the rear seal fixed. What I HAVE done is I've pulled the carpet out and put it in my shed to dry out. I the meantime I put the carpet mats back in. You almost don't notice that the the carpet is not there. Now when it leaks it doesn't get trapped under the carpets and it dries and doesn't get moldy. I know its a short term solution but its getting the job done for now. I cannot imagine ever getting the mold smell out of the carpet so even after the rear seal is fixed I will probably leave it like this until you guys convince Toyota to pay for new carpeting. |

Replying to: retiredcat (Mar 21, 2008 10:56 am) I went back to the body shop that replaced the bumper and showed them that the back door was out of alignment and that water was leaking in. They fixed it. I then removed all the seats and the carpet and found that the entire carpet was soaking wet. While we are drying it out, it appears that water is still getting in somehow. I am not sure where to look next. From this thread it appears that it could be the rear AC panel. Did this finally fix the problem for you? Thxs Evalee
