description: HERE'S MY COMPLAINT, THE TARGA TOP ON MY 88 TOYOTA SUPRA, HAS LEAKED EVER SINCE I GOT THE CAR IN 1990. EVERYONE WHOM I HAVE SPOKE TO WITH A TARGA TOP, HAS TOLD ME THAT THEIR TARGA TOPS LEAK. SO, WITH THIS BEING THE CASE I'M SURE IF YOU DO SOME RESEARCH YOU WILL FIND OUT WHAT I HAVE FOUND OUT THAT THE TARGA TOP, ALONG WITH ITS GASKETS ARE DEFECTIVE FROM THE PLANT. I WOULD APPRECIATE IT IF YOU FIND OUT IF THERE IS ALREADY A RECALL ON THESE TARGA TOPS AND THEIR GASKETS, AND IF NOT I WOULD APPRECIATE IT IF YOU WOULD POST A CONCERN, OR LET ME KNOW IF ITS POSSIBLE TO GET A REPLACEMENT TOP AND GASKETS FOR MY MUCH LOVED SPORTS CAR. PRESENTLY, I CAN NOT DRIVE IT ON A RAINY DAY BECAUSE I'LL BE SOAKED WITHIN JUST MINUTES OF THE DOWN POUR. I THANK YOU FOR LISTENING, AND IF YOU ARE ABLE TO FIND OUT IF TOYOTA IS WILLING TO REPLACE THE FAULTY GASKETS AND TARGA TOP, I WOULD VERY MUCH APPRECIATE IT. CURRENTLY, I'M AFRAID TO DRIVE THE CAR BECAUSE I'M AFRAID THE POURING IN OF WATER IS GOING TO SHORT OUT THE ELECTRICAL SYSTEM IN THE CAR. I GUESS THE BEST WAY TO DESCRIBE IT IS, ITS LIKE HAVE SOMEONE POUR A PITCHER OF WATER ON YOU WHILE YOU DRIVE. IN 1990 WHEN I PURCHASED THE CAR I USED A TOWEL IN MY LAP TO CATCH THE WATER, BUT KNOW THE LEAK IS SO BAD I WOULD PROBABLY NEED THREE TOWELS, AND SOME GOGGLES TO KEEP THE WATER OUT OF MY EYES. I KNOW IF YOU LOOK INTO THIS FARTHER YOU WILL FIND PLENTY OF OTHER SUPRA OWNERS WITH MY SAME COMPLAINT. BEING THAT THESE ROOFS AND SIDE DOOR GASKERS ARE
