If your 2004-2008 Solara convertible is leaking in the trunk or back seats you need this part. Toyota doesn't make it anymore. A aftermarket part is available. Check my next post for the link
I was able to have this installed at my auto top place for $750 for everything.

Hi @masterzchamp I was wondering how much grief the shop gave you when asking them to install that Tarpaulin (Rear Bow Drain)? Did you have to go to a few places to find a shop to do the work?

Also, how has it been since?

Thank you for taking the time to post this information!

Which I absolutely believe, and it just reinforces the point I made on the other topic started by @RichTx.

I had my full top replaced along with the rain rail in April 2022 for $1676. At the time I was getting quotes on this job, the shop I used to do it told me, in no uncertain terms, that it is a mistake to skip replacing the rain rail, because the labor to do just that job is almost as much as doing the top replacement itself.

The breakdown on my receipt was that the top/rain rail parts were $975 and the labor was $650. I remember that the rain rail part price was under $200.
