I think the discussion started a few years ago on the diesel list shortly after Darren started the whole JDM importing craze. Its the fold down 70 series windows that seem to be in question and it came to my attention again after I had the glass removed from Ratpuke's BJ73 for painting. The glass fitter noticed it.
Her glass says Toyota Zonelite which apperently is "centrally tempered" glass possibly made in India by a large OEM supplier named Asahi India Safety Glass Ltd.

the one in ol smokey is definately laminate by the cracks running side to side. the one in the HZJ75 was laminate, the one in the PZJ was laminate...
tomorrow i will check "sweetpea" and see what that one is, it has only 27,000 original km on it and the windshield should be original by the looks of the body...
cheers

Dredging up an old thread. That windshield took a rock hit today and while it did maintain its shape, Ratpuke said it was pretty hard to drive the 60 or so miles home. Toyota is backordered so we'll try to flex in a piece of plexiglass for the time being.

wow... good no one got hurt.
To get the plexi glass or lexan to fit really good start shaping it before you remove the original glass.
Take the lexan and pin it down at one side. Then using a heat gun slowly heat the lexan till you can bend it in the shape. Once you have it pins at both ends you can then trace out the shape.
edit; I added this thread to the FAQ above.

$3 more than Access Toyota pricing at the local dealer. Plus shipping. The advantage is, Ens actually has one in stock. The warehouse is backordered.
Hmm,
Last year I had to get my winshield replaced, I had it ordered from 4Wheel Auto in Edmonton and had a local winshield shop replace it. Best part was ICBC paid for it!

Can anybody explain the full part number for the fold down windshield? I’m assuming 60230 isn’t the whole number because when I search on it, a bunch of different and unrelated parts come up.
56111-60230
Thank you!
My windshield installer was asking if we need anything else, other than the windshield. He was pointing at the rubber / metal pieces going around. Does anybody have any intel on that?
Lockstrip moulding. They can be reused if removed carefully.
Thank you. Would you say anything aside from the windshield needs to be replaced when replacing the windshield if they’re careful?

Just get the replacement weatherstrip that doesn't require those chrome inserts. (if you can for FRP top models)
I accidently posted part numbers for weatherstrip on non-FRP models but deleted it now. I didn't realize you had a 73/74 model.

New weatherstrip is a must, IMHO.
You should also make your installer aware that there needs to go mastic sealer between the weatherstrip outer lip and the frame. See maintenance manual. The process is pretty well described there.
If your windshield is factory, still, there will be mastic sealer on the weatherstrip and it will not be reusable anyway because of that.
Also expect some minor rust on the frame that should be treated. Some installers are unwilling to do any 'bodywork'. Talk to them and make a plan on this. Good luck Ralf

Did spot some rust and will discuss if they have any options with that. I wonder if anybody bought this instead of cleaning up rust.
