OEM Soft Door Vent Window W/S

Hello All
I still can't find a source for the vent window weather stripping. Anyone got a lead. Foxfab said someone on this list was selling repos but I can't find them. This is what I'm running now, so any help would be appreciated.
Thanks in advance.
Peter

Weatherstrip

Hello, Just finished mine. I was not able to find the weatherstrip so I carefully removed my old ones during restoration. Please Let me know if you are able to sorce a new set. By the way here are pictures of mine completed:http://www.fototime.com/inv/C71968C3B6AB491

Regards...

That weatherstrip has been DC for a long time. Pimp is talking about the rest of the items.

I bought a set from Greg a *while* back when he did repros(they were quality too ) I doubt he has anymore but you certainly try.

Not to hijack, but what about a source for vent window w/s for a 64 fj40, I think I have that bugcather style that no one carries w/s for.

thanks

Bug catchers... look up robert furman

Bug Catchers are here!

Malpharus.. Those wing vents ws are nice but it won't work in the OEM softdoor. Those are a specific item. They are fixed ws with plexi glass in them. Hence the reason a guy went to all the trouble to reproduce them.

Thanks for the word on Greg(redrock here). I contacted him in early December but never received a reply. You would think if they guy was not interested in selling the W/S any longer, he would sell the dies to someone who would use them.
Still looking.
Peter

Good Idea?

My welder had a suggestion for me(seems obvious now). Why not use W/S from the windshield or the large side windows on the hard top as a substitute? It's not OEM but it is Toyota, will hold the plexi in and best of all, will allow me to get rid of the pizza boxes. Anyone tried this? Know why it won't work?
Anyone got spare w/s for me?
Thanks
Peter
