Corner Glass Weather Strip 71 FJ40 Hardtop (1 Viewer)

[h82crash]

I did some searches but found a lot of bad info. Like, "all the glass is the same just different weatherstrip." The glass for my top is the smaller one. There are clearly different sized glass. Bought WS about 5 years ago to install when I got to the point I am at now. And guess what? It's the WS for the larger glass.

I do remember when I pulled the glass it was a one-piece rubber with no lock strip. But definitely different from what I have. I need to be sure and get the correct WS this time.

I know the later rubber might work as people said it has, but then the rubber will sit proud of the hardtop side like the later models. Oh and I just looked, the hatch window rubber is the same stuff.

It's from City Racer. It's nice stuff, just not correct.

You are correct, the glass has to match the ws.

I got the Trim-Lok 2 piece rubber because they sell it in 25 foot lengths.

Did you already install this? How was the install? Are you happy with the finished results? I'm in the process of purchasing all of the various rubber bits to replace worn out ones as we put my '73 back together after a full tear down and repaint.

Yes, fit is perfect. A little tough to install, but it's good. I put the joints on the rear vertical of the corner glass, as it is straight.
Make sure you have the smaller glass that sits recessed in the frame. Later tops had larger glass and different seals.
