Weatherstripping/ rubber seals

Hey guys, I am in the middle of a complete repaint of my '76 HJ and want to take out all glass so I can get underneath the rubber and paint.
Do you know the best source to get all new rubber weatherstripping?

Thanks!

Eddie

The best source is Toyota (CDan would be my choice). If there are any bits you can't get, then I'd work my way down through SOR and CCOT.

The OEM Toyota rubber is much higher quality than any of the aftermarket sources from what I've seen, which mean the seals will last a lot longer and work a lot better.

Three of us in our club just bought that stuff from CCOT. It looks to be good quality ( except the hokey trim for the door sill). The chrome window strips are OEM in toyota packaging and the door seal has the upper corner mitres in them.

None of us has actually done the install yet so I can't comment on the fit or finish.

The buying transaction was painless (except for UPS and Canada customs charges ) and I think we got good value for our money.
