I have been searching and can not seem to find one for a 43 or 44. I pulled the top off mine to repair a few things and need to reseal it. I have seen the contour that CCOT uses but can not seam to find it on line anywhere. The 40 seal is too short. City Racer makes a nice one for the 40 but it will not work on my 44. I have a brand new one from Toyota for a 40, but that will not work either.

I am not looking for a restoration piece, this is a trail truck that looks decent. The roll of material will work and I can trim it to make the corners work.

Any help on this would be great.

You can get the Troopy weatherstripping and cut it down, then glue it back together. I just did something similar with a FJ45 recently. I modified an available FJ45 top weatherstrip to fit a FJ45 with a unavailable weatherstripping.

Thank you. I went to look and it does not have a "add to cart"

I emailed them about one and he did not mention the Troopy one. I emailed to see if they have one in stock as it may be a good option.

45RP and 45LP is a pickups. 45RV and 45LV troopies.

Should add up until 1/75 RHD did not have the R letter in the model. 1/75 on foreign markets RHD had the R. Japan never used the R.

Yeah hopefully he still has them. If not a Troopy weatherstrip you could build one out of maybe two FJ40 ones.

Here is the glue I use. And photo of what I made. I took two FJ45 LBP truck weatherstripping and made one for a FJ45 SWB truck.

Thank you. I did find a company in Australia that makes the Troopy ones for a good price. They are in stock and ready to ship. City Racer is closed this week, so I may wait and see what he has. If CCOT said they would build me one from their material. I do like the factory holes that the other two have. It is not a restoration so it does not have to be perfect.
