Alright i have almost finished with the refurb of my Aussie windows but I need some help with the center vertical bar. Toyota no longer makes the “caterpillar” weather stripping that goes in the bar, and the 80 series bars are NLA from Toyota according to my dealer. Anybody have any creative ideas or leads?
In classic fashion, I think that after literally weeks to months of reading these threads and related searches, I have found a reasonable solution immediately after asking for help on this forum with regards to the "caterpillar" weatherstripping.
Amazon product ASIN B00D0RITMG
The correct term for this type of weatherstrip is called "Pile Weatherstrip". I found what appears to be very close to the correct size at the link I've posted above. I'll update this post when it arrives this week. Who knows what the original pile height was, but I'm measuring mine at about 4mm on the 40 year old weatherstrip, and the old backing appears to be just shy of 7mm. 6.8mm backing and 5.1mm pile height should be close enough.

Good find!!!
It fits well. If anybody needs some of this stuff, I’ve got about 90 more feet. I’m happy to cut and send sets of 4 if anybody needs some. I’ll make a post office run next week if you will PM me and shoot me 5 for shipping.
This is the thread I meant to tag you in @kelly saad Bad Ass...right? more up=to=date as well!!
Does anyone have any leads on where someone can acquire a set of these; regardless of condition? There’s a place called CruiserParts but they have a horrible reputation in this forum.
@simulacrum Try Reaching out to @FJ40GURU as he seems to be able to get a lot of things that are hard to find here. I have a set of OEM 40 series rear sliding windows coming from him right now!
Message sent!
Top notch person to buy from.
2nd this!!!
Agreed. He helped me with some interior trim I still needed for my rear shoulder belt conversion.

That’s funny I purchased the same thing from him.
I was very impressed with the product & how well he packed it up for the journey.
I will have some sliding windows and other AUS goods one day.
Always a pleasure to help, Scott.
@NookShneer did you ever figure out if one of these CRL options was a viable replacement for the factory bailey channel? Not sure how much it'll help, it seems a little difficult to source by the cut foot in any case.
I didn't. I'll need to try and dig the baily channel I have from AUS out and see if I can take some measurements to published measurements on line.
Thanks. Did you order from Scott's Old Auto Rubber - https://www.scottsoldautorubber.com.au/ ?
It seems like Fairchild 0637(-8) may currently be the best bet in the US.
