66' FJ45LPB Parts Needed

[Gerhard O]

LITP,

Good call !
I checked a new curved rear glass I have which is tinted, says "Temperlite," and the catalog lists it as "TT".
There is a different part number listed for the CLEAR version.

As for the part number for the weatherstrip for the fixed glass back window, it was 64831-90332 back in 1964 and didn't change by April 1986.

So, I also am hoping the later weatherstrip I purchased will fit the earlier glass.

One millimeter isn't very much difference--long ago, didn't one brand of cigarettes once advertise as being "one silly millimeter longer"?

On a similar note:

I checked the last offerings for the front windshield glass on the later models, and there are four varieties:
6.7 mm thick clear laminated (Lamisafe) or tinted laminated
5.0 mm thick clear "zone tempered"(Temperlite) or "tinted zone tempered",

and four different part numbers for the weatherstripping.

So......apparently some markets allowed tempered front glass, and others insisted on safety laminated. glass.

Would be interested in seeing a thread devoted to glass varieties, including the doors and vent windows, and their respective weatherstrips.

Bear, It's 12 years later but I was hoping you could let me know here if the later weatherstrip for the fixed glass back window fitted your earlier glass? Im in the same position now. Regards,

Your mention of the back window prompted me to check on that piece of glass in some old catalogs:

Apparently the glass got thinner over the years from Early to 1986;
Not sure about the overall shape and dimensions--need someone to actually lay an early and a late original atop each other to check.

I was informed after a check with Japan two years ago that the latest version was NLA, so probably also for the early numbers.

Anyway,


In 1964 the part number was: 64811-90332.
By 1969 it was referred to as: 64811-90333, with a thickness of about 5/16" (5mm)

Between 3/69-8/76 it was superceded by: 64811-90335, with a thickness of about 1/8" (4mm)
From 8/76 until the end in 4/86 there were two choices in 4mm thickness for the fixed glass in different world markets:
the 64811-90335 continued as tempered
or 64811-90336 was listed as "TT", whatever that means

The rear sliders were all 4mm glass, either tempered or "TT."

Probably a lot more info than you need to hear !

Hi Bear, the only part number that is still available from Toyota is 64811-90335. There is no description related to if it's clear glass or tinted. My FJ45 is a 08/1975 with the original glass that is clear. The rear fixed glass window was removed when it was new and a canopy was fitted with a sail seal between the canopy window and the cab. I now want to fit a glass window again but wanting a clear glass windscreen to match the other windows.

Gerhard @Gerhard O ,

Sorry but I have not replaced a rear cab flat glass yet. I can't access my spare glasses and weatherstripping at the moment so have no measurements to offer. Here in the States many will simply have glass cut at a local glass/window shop, but of course it is not "original" or have the Asahi Teq markings. Certain countries and jurisdictions require either tempered or laminated glass on vehicles they import or manufacture, some only specify for the front windscreen. You're fortunate if you already have the 2 different curved corner windows since all else is flat and able to be cut.

As I mentioned in that earlier post years ago, Toyota offered two thicknesses of flat glass, likely for the same jurisdictional requirements. I highly doubt any current "inspector" could tell the difference from simple observational examination unless the two different thicknesses were side-by-side. I would go with the new weatherstripping that is available as I have plenty of examples of how over time the previously installed rubber shrinks, hardens, and cracks. I've used a soft, flexible, putty-like, 3M brand black caulking "rope" to seal areas of weatherstripping before that have small gaps, and it might help with any areas you may encounter. The material remains soft much like modeling clay.

Sorry to not have your answer. Good luck with your project !
