I have a (new to me) 95 ES300. It was owned by an 80 year old lady who lived in Hilton Head, rarely drove it, and who never opened the sunroof for years.

The sunroof is stuck. I took apart the headliner and aremoved sunroof assembly. The assembly, taken apart from the sunroof itself, works perfectly.

Upon inspection with the mechanical assembly removed, the glass sunroof itself is solidly stuck. It will not move at all.

Has anyone ever replaced the seals that hold the sunroof in place? Are there two seals or one seal? Part numbers?

I would love a picture of someone's top with the sunroof open so I could see what is supposed to move.

This was solved by a trip to my local "Pull a Part".

I was surprised to see there was no extra gasket on any of the other ES300s in the junk yard. So - I grabbed a good as new sunroof for $20.

When I got home, I cut out the gasket holding in the current sunroof. Apparently, the previous owner had broken a sunroof, and put in the wrong replacement sunroof. I took the old roof out.

I put the $20 replacement unit in, and all is well!
