- How to replace the Gen3 Tacoma OEM Tonneau Cover hinge seals.
PARTS: Order (2ea) of these 64971-04011and (1ea) of 64972-04011 from Toyota. The first two seals are for the 2 hinges between panels 1 & 2 closest to the cab and the single seal is for the double hinge between panels 2 & 3 closest to the tailgate. I found it cheaper to order from Toyota dealers in smaller States including shipping vs. the overpriced dealers here in California.
Such an awesome, detailed video, and thanks for posting the part numbers - diagrams were hard to read for these seals. Perfect video - very much appreciated.
Glad it helped!
Thanks for the information, Mike, I brought mine back to the dealer because the seals with the dehydrated. They told me the seals are unavailable and wanted to sell me a new tonneau cover for $2000. your information on installation plus the part numbers were appreciated. it’s amazing how little the dealerships know.
New one-LOL. Yes. Took me multiple dealerships before anyone could even find the part number. Counter people! I was one at NAPA as a teen and hope I was better than that !! :)
They knew how much work it is getting the old ones off and all the cleaning you have to do after they are all melted from the heat….just wanted to replace the whole thing , same profit less work. They are not stupid……
Great video, thank you for taking the time to put that together, I just finished changing the hinge covers on my Tonneau.
Glad I could help !! If you haven't already, try coating your cover with Cerakote ceramic coating. It lasted a year up here after 51" of rain in Washington. Cover looked like new and I was very impressed. Ready to apply a new coating. I'm going to post a video.
Thank you for posting up part numbers! Your vid helped with removal and instal, also found out I needed new hinges for the end caps. Here are part numbers for em if y’all would like
Pass Front: 64915-04010
Pass Rear: 64917-04010
Driver Front: 64916-04010
Driver Rear: 64918-04010
You’re welcome. Glad it helped.
I broke one of these about five years ago. The dealership said there was no way to replace it.
@terry It’s super easy to replace. It’s best to order the part online of Toyotas website.
I just priced to have it fixed at Toyota Phx, AZ $400.00. Thanks for saving me money
Thanks for the info. I called my local dealer who could not find the parts number so I gave them the part numbers you listed and they were a match. Thanks...
Cheapest place I found was Farmington Hills Toyota in MI. www.suburbantoyotaoffarmingtonhills.com/parts-center.htm
Thank you for taking the time for the research and sharing the p/n’s and detailed video. I have a 2020 taco and seals are already starting to leak. 👍🙏
You bet. Glad I could help. Sadly I sold my Tacoma baby last week. Almost 8 yrs old. Enjoy yours!!
Thanks @PNWMike62. I did mine yesterday. Such a huge help watching your video. 👊
Awesome!! Glad I could help
Awesome video. I have a 2020 and my seals are melting as I live in AZ and my Taco is not garaged. This is exactly was I was looking for.
Thanks - Glad I could assist
Thanks very much for posting this. The strips on mine have begun to split and get gummy at the ends. Now I just need to order them up. Awesome tips you provided!
You're welcome. Sorry, missed your post - Cheapest place I found was Farmington Hills Toyota in MI. www.suburbantoyotaoffarmingtonhills.com/parts-center.htm
@@MVMike62 All good, ordered from my local dealer’s parts dept. here in SoCal at a decent discount. Fit perfectly. Thanks again for sharing the info.
Awesome, just what i have been looking for. A smart guy decided to put armorall over the whole cover after washing the truck when i took it to the dealer for maintenance. I believe the chemicals plus the sun and head melted the seals. Mine is a2017 and your old seals looks better than mines. I asked the dealer for the seals and he didn't know and haven't received any info. Thanks for posting the video BTW.
Glad I could help
Great video! Just what I needed. Looking forward to getting my parts!
Terrific. Glad I could help. Get it all warmed up and it's a piece of cake!!
Thanks you Mike for your video .My gaskets have been going bad about a year now allowing rain to get inside. You made my day much appreciated.p.s. I think about using permatex rtv. You did mention it right when I was typing the message. Take care.
Sorry for the delayed response. The RTV suggestion is for the end tips IF needed. Mine seem to be staying down without it just fine. Now that we live in snow country I didn't want to anchor it solid because of the growth and shrinkage of the seal with temperature changes.
Thank you so much for sharing this. The other day I was wondering how water was getting into the bed of my Tacoma, that is when a friend of mine noticed that those seal have cracks in them. So I assume that is how water is entering the bed of my truck. Also thanks for sharing the part numbers.
You’re very welcome. Glad it helped.
Thank you sir, mine was getting the same way after 5 years! Awesome cover other than that!
Great 👍 video, thank for sharing and teaching us the techniques to do this.
To get that gray faded look from the hardcover, I used CeraKote wipes. Looks brand new and has for about a year now. It’s no comparison to using greasy Armorall that fades after 2 weeks
Thanks, Yes. I found CeroKote right after filming this video through a viewer. Its great stuff and a once-a-year or less application
Thank you, for posting. I will order the parts soon :)
I replaced everything, Thanks again :)
Thank you Mike
great vid. tnks
YES! thank you so much.
Thanks for the video. I just picked up a tacoma that came came with this tonneau cover and I noticed the seals are looking a little rough so I might replace them since I'm probably going to be taking it off and sell it. It's a nice cover but I don't particularly like it that much.
Glad I could help
Thanks
Honestly bro I was looking for this everywhere your a life saver, I also had a question, l noticed you replaced the hinges at the ends where the weather strip goes
You think I can have the part numbers for those as well
You’re very welcome and thanks for the comment. I never had to replace the large end caps for the double hinge but had broken off the small end caps on both sides at the single hinge (closest to the tailgate) They’re so week you just touch them when folding the cover and they snap right off. I’ve got the part numbers. Let me dig them up and I’ll post them here

Great video thank you so much 😊
You’re welcome. Hope it was helpful.
@@MVMike62ordered them this morning and got them half off as an after thanksgiving discount 🙌
In the case of a 2019 tocoma the back one had 2 pins on each end, suggest you start both ends and work to middle.
Front pair have 1 pin on each end I got each end started then worked to middle and there were no problems.
The back one since I started on 1 side and worked accros I needed to do some sugery to get the far end to fit due to the streching as I inserted it.
Thanks James for the Update on the 2019 / Later model cover. Pins on each end. If you can get it started in the middle that would make total sense. I guess as you go push back a little so your not stretching the seal making it longer.
Hello thank you for the video it helped out a lot. Do you know what’s the part number for the piece that you are missing? I need to replace that part as well.
Glad I could help. For the end cap part numbers look at my post here in the remarks from a year ago. Title is in ALL CAPS.
you forgot to remind people to wear long sleeves before replacing these. the tonneau cover has some type of fiberglass fibers that will irritate your forearms and you will itch for hours. awesome video by the way. thanks dude !
Thanks - I've not had that issue. I now also coat and seal my Cover and all black plastics with Cerakote once a year
@@MVMike62 you can go try it now. rub your forearm in a circular motion on the tonneau cover for only 1 second
What do you use to bring back the color.
Hello, can you tell me where I can buy the cheaper seals?
THANK YOU for this video! What’s the name and website of the company where you purchased the seals?
Cheapest place I found was Farmington Hills Toyota in MI. www.suburbantoyotaoffarmingtonhills.com/parts-center.htm
Great video. Are the seals the same for long bed and short bed?
I was told by another viewer they were the same. The long bed just has a longer front panel.
Did you find where to order the replacement caps the cover you mentioned you had foam in as temporary?
I just cut pieces of black foam plumbing insulation to fit into the spaces. Its about $5 for 8' at Home Depot. They work like a charm and are cheap if i ever lose one.
Thanks for the video, since you've changed it .have you notice the water seal improve, or is water still coming in from other areas?
I had no water seal issues before they cracked and haven't been in serious rain yet since replacing them. No issues through the carwash though.
UPDATE: In July we moved from dry as a bone Sunny So. Cal. to WA State. We’ve had 10” of rain in just this past month and the only slight leakage I notice is from the base seal between the cover and the bed rail but only in a few spots. Very little standing water actually enters the bed. We’ll see how snow does in a couple months.
@@MVMike62 thanks for the update, I have yet to replace mine. It does seem like a little bit of water comes in from the area closest to the cabin, which I'm thinking is the base seal.
@@MVMike62 also forgot to mention my cover was as faded as yours there in the video but I picked up some car guys plastic restorer online, and it turned it back to black and looking like new. Though I'm not sure how long it will last, I've had it on for about 3 months and seems to be holding up fairly good. If it does fade away I'll probably go with Wipe New trim restorer, I've used it on some older cars and that stuff holds up great
@@xxtwobitxx I too tried some stuff from the Car Guys. It was thick and clear. It looked great afterwards but was gone after a few car washes. Someone else responding here turned me on to Cerakoat Trim Coat. It’s amazing stuff. It’s been on for 6 mos. now and is just starting to look like it needs a recoat. I’m betting the 2nd coat will last longer since the first coat as a base is still there. It didn’t damage my weather seals either.
Mine are legit melting. I’m having a thought time getting all the goo off, any recommendations?
Mine started to do that too. Just used some paint thinner. Didn't try Acetone but if you do try first underneath.
This job is a bitch….we live in the southwest heat and these pieces actually melt over time….sticky mess. Took about 3 hours with all the cleanup after getting the pieces out of the channels..then putting them back in the tracks….lasted about 5 years….hope I never have to do it again!
Yes, Was in Sunny and hot So Cal with my Taco for the first 6 years and they gave up at the 5 yr mark. It was one of the detailing treatments I used that I felt melted mine. Yours must have been really bad coming out in pieces. Just traded the 8yr old Taco with 109K mi in on a new Tundra. Loving it !!
Is your tonneau cover 5ft or 6ft long?
Will these part numbers work of long bed? (6ft) bed?
5 foot. I’ve never looked at a 6 foot bed with a cover. If the panels are just a little wider I’d bet the hinge seals are the same. (Specially since there’s nothing in the parts description at all for one bed over the other. And for sure it’s a factory Toyota cover and not an aftermarket add on by the dealer?
@@MVMike62 yeah your right. The with looks the same and I am sure the with of the truck is the same.
Yeah mine is 6ft bed and it’s a original Tacoma tonneau cover.
Thanks.
I can't find the parts anywhere. None of the numbers match up to anything. Where can I order the parts!
Cheapest place I found was Farmington Hills Toyota in MI. www.suburbantoyotaoffarmingtonhills.com/parts-center.htm
Is it just me or do these strips always pop out after you open and fold tonneau cover after a short drive somewhere?
That's never happened on mine in 7 yrs. I have a feeling the strip isn't pushed completely down into the channel until the arrowhead shaped seal snaps into it. You can actually hear it snap. Or else your seals arrowhead edge is damaged? Is the track completely cleaned out?
Can you share the name of the place in Idaho where you found them

Where did you buy the replacement seals?

Has these items been harder and harder to obtain. Anyone have a trusted dealer or site they used without being phished or scammed? Thanks in advance
Ordered directly from Toyota dealers that sell parts online. You can verify the dealership. I find parts in small mid Western towns are far cheaper than in Southern Cal. (even with shipping)
