In post #10, @J Mack linked parts from McMaster-Carr, that up until last year sometime were viewable on my phone, and now apparently are not. The links still work on a PC which is how I was able to get the PN#’s to update.

Good job! I rebuilt mine, but didn't ever find those springs, maybe on the next rebuild.

Way back at some point I found some hardware store replacements that worked great but needed cut down to length. Will have to look for those again and post some info.

My rebuild using the McMaster Carr parts turned out great. Thankfully I was able to reuse the original pins and springs which made the job a bit easier.

won't the FJ40 parts or the nissan parts listed earlier work just as good for 1/4 of the cost?

We should sticky this - right next to the rear window wiring thread.
