| 1988 | STRUCTURE:BODY:ROOF AND PILLARS | I HOPE YOU CAN HELP ME PREVENT POSSIBLE ACCIDENTS CAUSED FROM ENGINEERING ERROR ON IN THE CONSTRUCTION ON THE TARGA TOP ON THE 1987-1992 TOYOTA SUPRAS, EVERYONE WHOM I SPOKEN TO WHOM OWNS A SUPRA WITH THE TARGA TOP HAS TOLD ME THEY ALL LEAK. WHEN I FIRST BOUGHT THE CAR THE LEAK WAS SMALL, BUT ITS GOTTEN PROGRESSIVELY WORSE, AND AS OF NOW, I ONLY USE IT AS A WEEKEND CAR WHEN IT IS NOT RAINING, BUT FOR THOSE SOULS WHOM DO NOT HAVE THIS OPTION, THEY ARE PUTTING THEMSELVES, AS WELL AS OTHERS AT RISK IN CONTINUING TO DRIVE THIS PARTICULAR MODEL. BECAUSE WHEN IT RAINS, IT POURS INTO THE DRIVING COMPARTMENT MAKING IT HARD TO DRIVE AND SEE FREE FROM THE WATER POURING INTO THE COMPARTMENT, NOT TO MENTION, WITH THE WATER POURING IN LIKE IT DOES, IT IS ONLY A MATTER OF TIME UNTIL THE WATER WILL SHORT OUT THE ELECTRICAL SYSTEM IN THE DASH. SO, AT THIS TIME I PLEAD WITH YOU THAT A RECALL MIGHT BE PUT INTO PLACE, TO PREVENT INJURY TO OTHERS ON THE ROAD. AND I MYSELF WOULD LIKE TO SEE A REPLACEMENT GASKET & PERHAPS NEW TARGA TOP, WHERE ONE MIGHT BE ABLE TO DRIVE THEIR CAR FREE FROM GETTING WET. IT SOUNDS LIKE A SMALL REQUEST, AND I AM SURE PLENTY OF OTHER SUPRA OWNERS WILL BE RELIEVED, NOT TO MENTION MAKING THE ROADS SAFER FOR ALL OF US TO DRIVE ON. I'VE HAD SEVERAL NEAR MISSES, AND A FENDER BENDER OVER THIS ONGOING PROBLEM. PLEASE HELP ME BE ABLE TO GET A SOLUTION TO THIS ONGOING PROBLEM. I DO HOPE IF YOU ARE ABLE TO FIND ANYTHING OUT FROM TOYOTA, OR IF THEY HAVE NEW DESIGNED GASKETS TO PREVENT IT FROM HAPPENING AGAIN. I THANK YOU FOR LISTENING, AND HOPE THAT SOMETHING CAN BE DONE. SINCERELY LEE RIGGS. *AK |
