Ever wondered what's like under the roof trim?

This is disgusting, the truck is only 2 years old.

 

Gross.

What made you decide to pull it off?

 

The trim piece is designed only to press into place, not make a hermetic seal. Just peel back and rinse out.

 

Weird. Dirt on the outside of a vehicle.

 

I think thats more indicative of parking under trees rather than an inherent design flaw.

Mine was just dusty when I removed mine for my Gobi roof rack. That was after eight years of ownership.

 

Exactly!

I had this trim piece come loose after running my 4Runner through the car wash. I put a few dabs of silicone in three spots on both strips and it stopped happening.

 

Dirty runoff at the carwash

 

After 60$ and 2 hr at Brown Bear.

 

Had some mold growing in there too

 

Underneath the cowl there is always traped pine needles, took it off and gave it a good clean

 

Guess will leave the front ones off and see how it goes

 

Yeah have to park in the open under trees, glad you did not have such a peoblem

 

You know, I thnk mine were loose also, they came off pretty easy once freed from the silicone

 

Now time for some well deserved pupusas!

 

yum

 

So, I’m glad you got everything cleaned out, but I feel like we’re missing a recipe.

 

you spent two hours and $60 at a car wash cleaning this?
The last one I cleaned I used a single can of spray glass cleaner and about a roll of paper towels. How did you spend $60 at a car wash?
