FJ40 corner glass sizes? (1 Viewer)

[Archery Aaron]

Hey guys,
Installing my corner glass and it looks like I have the wrong size. I noticed that their seems to be 3 different sizes, is this right? 65-71, 71-76, 76-84, correct?

Thanks,
Aaron

As I’ve discovered recently, the type of rubber gasket makes a difference also. I tried installing my glass
(which I thought was all from ‘73) with the newer 1 piece gasket and it didn’t work. Apparently I have glass from an older style top. So I bought the 2 piece rubber which I hope will work.

So older small glass needs the 2 piece rubber and the newer ones use a 1 piece gasket.

Yeah, I have a 72' and am using the 1 piece gasket/seal. I'll look at getting the the 2 piece gasket/seal and see if that's the cheaper way to go or the bigger glass.

All the same as far as I have seen, just put some 81 corner glass in a 69 !

If you do go the 2 piece route I found a place that sells it by the foot so you don’t have to over buy.

If you put the newer bigger glass in an old top you can use the one piece gasket

Here’s my post from a a few days ago

Hard top side windows/rubber difference help

I’ve been rehabbing my hard top. Stripped it all the way down to the drip rail. Now I’m in the re assembly stage. I tried to put my big side window in with new City racer rubber. It not even close. (No fault to City racers product) It would seem I have a “early” pre ‘71 top on my ‘73. When I...

ran in to the same issue when i bought my hardtop, was told it was a 72 and it had the 2 piece weather strip. Ordered the one piece from City Racer and that's when i found out it wouldn't work. Ordered the TrimLok one piece locking gasket from Amazon and worked fine.

Yeah, I think that's my exact issue as well. You have a link?

here's what i used. Trim-Lok EPDM Dense Rubber Window Locking Gasket – Fits 1/4” Glass and 1/4” Panel Edge, 25’ Length – One-Piece Locking System (Inline), Weather Stripping Seal for Stationary Windows or Windshields

I used a lot of dish soap, someone to hold the window and a plastic body tool to work it in the lock. Make sure its warm or it will be a real PITA to put it in

Here’s what I ordered. Haven’t installed yet so hoping it’s right.
