I'm in the process of "refreshing" my front doors on my 76 FJ40, but I'm not sure I want to spend the big bucks for the Toyota window channels. They're like $140 each vs the CCOT ones which are much cheaper. I bought a pair from @Wadesters for a good price, but I'm just wondering others experience with these. Worst case I still have the OEM ones I pulled off I can try to refit them, but the inner felt is all tore up.

They are cheaper for a reason.

 

[airon23]

Whoa thank you for that. I even forgot about those other lower ones. I think mine was missing them so I didn't know. Those prices are reasonable. Where is this coming from?

 

[airon23]

They are cheaper for a reason.

And that reason is? They look like they're claiming to be OEM or am I wrong?

 

[airon23]

any leads on the inner and outer felt strips that go an the top of the door where you would rest your arm?

They are junk

Oem is still available

 

[airon23]

yeah I saw them on CCOT but they were $125 or so a piece. I was looking to see if the pair I bought would work, but if not then it was only $30 spent on them and I might still go with OEM.

I got oem from ccot. 1976 fj40. Felts and channels. I am restoring a 99% original truck so the cost wasn’t a big deal for me. They are very nice and look great.

OEM tends to be less $ at Toyota Parts Deal.

Link to first one (search for others; this uses my year/model): 68105-90300 - Toyota Parts Deal

In the states, OEM even less here: Toyota Online Parts (McGeorge Toyota)

I used the ones from CCOT and they worked great. Mine is just a daily driver not a restoration.

It is worth it to do the extra homework for the OEM parts. Any of the Cruiser specific online vendors are charging list or more. Like mentioned above, the online Toyota parts vendors have the best price. I like Amayama too. I have an account set up with my local dealer and recieve a 24% discount. They can usually get them in 1 or 2 days and have had them delivered to my house when I can’t make it out there.
