When the seal is damaged
The seal needs to replace by any authorized Toyota dealer or repairer, or
another duly qualified and equipped professional.
If the trunk/luggage compartment has flooded with water when the seal has
been broken or is missing (for example, if the vehicle has been left outside in
the rain with the trunk lid open or removed), the parking brake system will
need to be replaced.
