1986 Turbo 4-Runner (#36522)
#281
Traveling north east yesterday outside of Fort morgan on I76 (75 mph limit) I got slammed by a thirty mile per hour gust head on. It felt like hitting a wall, shortly after I noticed the increased cabin noise and a new draft coming from the sun roof area. Dropped speed down a few times till I am putting along at 50, and finally dropped the cover off to find I can see the glass lifting in the front center section. I was worried it blew off some glass, but it is all still there.
I need to find some disassembly photos of the sun roof, its needed replaced due to cracked glass and a possible water leak. Now I am afraid it's going to fly off and hurt someone, plus I don't like sucking on exhaust fumes.

i'm going to take the unit to an automotive glass installer and see if they can epoxy/seal it with some good stuff. luckily, i have a spare from the parts runner to use while i get the original one repaired.

I pulled over and shut it off. There was a big BOOM from under the hood followed by a gush of steam.
It took awhile to find one of these, but I got it replaced. After I got it on and the radiator refilled it was still showing overheat on the dash, and had a throttle bog on tip in.
Toyota has since discontinued this hose and no aftermarket alternative exist. I’m piecing together some parts in an attempt to make something that will work in its place, but I would prefer the real thing.
Thoughts?
EDIT:
I no longer need the oem part. I pieced together parts and successfully remade this part. Works great.
