Any update on the CRL windows? Very interested in that route if they have the capability. I'm sure a group buy could be done...
Guess this is a bit old but..... I'd like to bring it up again.
Has anyone had any success with CLR, factory AUS, or any other source of sliding rear windows for a FJ60 / 62?

Spector has a deal on their exclusive sliders right now. $420.00 for the pair. Fits factory rubber. Sounds simple. $92.00 for new factory rubber if you need it.

I thought I read that the specter window sliders leaked. Or was there an old and new style?
Yeah I’ve read that and heard it too.
That’s why I haven’t just bought those and am looking for factory ones.

Ok ok. I’ll get the build post up today/tomorrow.
Just as a spoiler, my windows have been in for 8months and have no leaks at all. Love the mod.

I refreshed these OEM sliders about a year ago and have been pretty happy with them so far.
So.... just reading through this and other threads it sounds like if I buy the ones I’ve got my eye on, re-sealing / rebuilding them isn’t a big issue for us in the states? Parts are fairly readily available? Whether it be Toyota or other manufacturers they can be done?

Yup, all parts (except the metal frame and glass) can be sourced from Toyota or aftermarket sources (in the US and abroad). Not a big issue honestly. I replaced every piece on my sliders with new except the frames and glass.

Hey all, so here is a long delayed post on my sliding window install. I bought them off ebay in 2015 and they came from Australia. They were in good condition but needed ALL new weatherstripping and a paint job. Thankfully @NookShneer also had a set so we had the frames powdered in black. Taking the windows apart was not that hard, but take pics and document where all the pieces are located and how the weatherstripping is applied. Taking the glass out is definitely a two person job and is outlined in the FSM.
So now that the glass was clean and the frame was painted it was time to assemble.
First you need new "bailey channel". This was the only non-toyota part I used. Those I got from Scott's old rubber in New Zealand. I ordered 5 meters of part # 350.117. You can email Scott at scott@scottsoldautorubber.com.au . There may be a similar part here in the US but Scott had been mentioned before in some AUS threads so I went with what I knew worked. You will have to cut the new channel drain holes and other details to match the OEM piece:
I glued them into the frame with 3M weatherstripping glue.
Next you will need new center wiper posts: The center wiper post is no longer available for the 60 series, so I ordered a 80 series center posts since they have slider windows stock. I then cut it down to the same length as the 60 series one and it worked perfect! A dremel was perfect for this job.
80 series center wiper posts:

So as I have found, there was some variation in the slider window construction within the 60 series. So some of these parts you may not need, like the little center post screw. Here are some parts you may or may not need/want to replace:
Center post screw:
Window lock mechanism parts:
Center post top spacer pad:
Outer D-shaped weatherstripping for window frame: Amazon product ASIN B0054U934A
Now that your windows are all assembled:
Its time to install. I had to repair some paint on the body since now was a good time while the windows were out. When the paint was ready I used 3M butyl tape to glue the windows in. "3M 08620 Window-Weld 1/4" x 15' Round Ribbon Sealer Roll" . Before I glued the windows in I peeled back the headliner so it wasn't between the body and the slider window. I didn't want any potential moisture to wick in from outside. Once the window was pressed into the body opening I used several strong clips to fully pinch the window agains the metal body lip to fully seal the butyl sealant.
After it was fully glued all around I installed the lock strip. Here are some pics of the interior and the lock strip I got from McMaster ( part# 24175K17 McMaster-Carr ). I wish I would have found dark grey but black works ok.
I know it may be a little hard to see in the phots but the lock-trim pinches the body window seam and the innermost lip of the slider window frame. It is really there to finish off the look, the butyl is what really holds the window in.
Fully Installed:
Hopefully it was helpful and you all enjoy your sliding windows.

Hahaha. Hey! I'll take my 4 eyes and aging pain in the ass EFI system any day!Great write up, and good looking 62!

Great write up! Nicely done.
I have a pair of Aussie sliding windows, OEM Toyota. I saved my one-piece windows because I at some point want to install the Wagon Gear flip-up window kit. My window rubbers and felt on the center posts are still in decent shape. I'll sell the sliders when I change them out eventually. Only thing is whoever gets them might want to dismantle them and have the frames powder coated so they look real nice again.
Edit: unless Kevin picks up running Wagon Gear again or someone else takes up with hardware allowing use of the OEM curved glass, I won't be doing gull wing cargo windows, so at this point I plan to refurbish and freshen up my sliders in order to keep using em.

Interested. Pm’d You

red66toy - well done, and thanks for the parts numbers and I can’t believe the 80’s posts
cut down, that’s crazy!
Question to people in the south - What’s the very best way to tint the glass? Here in
parts of Canada it just isn’t that common and most glass shops just don’t know and don’t have any experience. So if the glass is removed, what’s the best way to get it coated?? J

I do have them for sale. Please let me know if interested.

I have been meaning to add this but I was limited by the amount of pictures in one post. This is the layout of the D-shaped weatherstripping on the outer window frame based on the OEM piece that I pulled off:
