Hard Top Replacement gaskets. (1 Viewer)

[jamesurq]

So I'm contemplating putting my hardtop back on and I'm reminded of the rattling and banging noises when I hit bumps. The padding/gasket between the top and the body is compressed and falling apart. I'm wondering if there's a recommended generic replacement gasket from something else? Home Depot door seal gaskets?

Seems like the OEM seals I'm seeing are for the rain gutter, not the seal between the top and body.

Any advice appreciated.

Ccot used to have the top to tub piece.

IIRC maybe pass rear radius is NLA
Cant remember if its a separate piece for 40

When I had my 40 I replaced mine with one from Spector and it worked really nice. IIRC it was pretty reasonably priced but that was around 10 years ago.

For the NLA parts I used gaskets for putting on camper shells. NAPA had some decent quality stuff.

I got mine from Spector. It resolved many of the obnoxious squeaks.

I still have one in the passenger door...

They are all available from Toyota.

Not cheap, but available.

Several years ago I bought the "kit" from CCOT. It is still sitting in my garage as there is no way I'm replacing the OEM seal with it.

It might be more costly, but in the long run you won't regret buying the OEM ones from Beno.

I used some materials I bought at Pep Boys and I'll be damn if it didn't work great! It was very reasonably priced as well. See here (SCROLL DOWN TO POST #17): Hard top weather stripping project (measurements needed)

Cityracerllc.com makes an oem match for less than oem. I just ordered one but haven't received it yet.

Garage door bottom seals worked well for a topper I had one time. They come in different sizes and shapes that may work with the ridge on the 40.
