Default Tweeter foam part #

Searched on oemlexus.com for the little foam triangle that goes behind the tweeter that prevents rain, this is also a visible part when taking off the mirrors. Getting really bad rain lately. The old ones have shrunk but that’s expected after 20 years

not sure if you’ve followed my other threads but I removed the sunroof multiple times, drains are fine. Thanks for suggestion

You are pointing at two different pieces. And yes I did follow your other threads thank you. I missed something though because I thought you were done at some point.

It just looks like a good amount of water is getting in there. I just doubt its coming from there. Like you said. you replaced the sunroof, the drains may be open but cars are so complicated.

As far as I have tried, that little form didn't fix the problem but this method to use and fill some silicon RTV was quite effective to stop the leak.

The idea was originally given by a Celsior owner named Kikkoro きっころ and I have posted this nearly a year ago.

I see what you mean now. Yamae's post helped me understand. I doubt you could buy that specific part anywhere, like you said you looked but can not locate, gotta fix it somehow.

I was pointing at two spots to try to symbolize what it would go in between. I went ahead and checked everywhere I could, drains again. The funny thing is a couple months ago I had read a post that had the part # but no luck finding it.
I’m gonna try some adhesive, thanks for replies
