You have a bad seal someplace. If a visual inspection of the seal around the edges of the trunk opening don't reveal the problem there's another way to check. Find a volunteer (preferably small and agile) who really really trusts you. Have them get inside the trunk with a decent flashlight. Close the lid then apply water from a hose. Your 'inside guy' might be able to spot where the water is coming from. As an alternative you could probably use something that would light the trunk interior (flourscent camping light comes to mind) along with a video camera aimed at the trunk lid. It might take several tries to get all angles but eventually you should spot the leak. Cheers Cheers
I believe, you need to replace the thermostat gasket.
its in the dash hidden by the glove box cover. open the glove box, and look for the button in the dash on the lower left (drivers) side.
Most likely it is coming in throgh the trunk seal. On a dry day wash your car and then open the trunk and see if the trunk seal is wet and there is a trail of water entering the trunk
Replace the gas struts. They're available at any auto supply store. Just check the application guide at the store to be sure you get the correct length.

The 3.0 liter V6 engine in a 2003 Toyota Solara has a timing BELT ( according to the Gates website , they make timing belts etc. )
Toyota produced Solara convertibles beginning in 2000. There were two generations of Solara. Generation 1 (and 1.5) was produced from 1998 (first sold as a 1999 model) to 2003. Generation 2 (and 2.5) were produced from 2004 through 2008. The Generation 1 convertible was essentially a couple that the top had been removed from and a droptop installed. Many drivers dubbed it the 'flexible flyer' because the frame twisted and wiggled (and rattled) so badly. The Generation II convertible was designed from a clean sheet of paper to be rigid without a hard top. The windshield frame is thicker than the couple as are the doorsills and other parts. The convertible has a roll-bar hidden in the back seat that makes use of the headrests. If you're looking to buy a convertible, get the Gen II. Cheers
No. The Generation I Solara doesn't have a cabin air filter. There are filters (behind the glove box door) for the Gen II Solara (2004 and later). Cheers
I believe the Solara is the same as the Camry. You have to remove part of the center console to access the adjustment.
You don't. There is no cabin air filter on the Gen I Solara. The interior air filter appeared on the 2004 (gen II) and later Solara. Cheers
Not unless it is worn.
