For that money you could replace the seals and be done with the problem...

to replace the seals u are looking at around £200 for the complete kit and that is imported from america. there is a much cheaper option to try first though! go to toyota and order 4 eccentric rod guides ( the holes on the car the rods go into ) they are part no. 63284-17030 . cost about £1.15 each! easy to fit.

u will be replacing the black collar on your glass panel were the silver rod pops out. the guides that your replace are drilled off center so they pull the roof down tighter.
