I need one too.
But am going to look into the sliding glass that Mark and others have had made up in Southern California.
U are aware of these?

For the corners:
I've heard of folks heating and bending plexiglass for the curved.
Or even having custom glass made from aluminum bent template.
Wish racer or someone would make some up.

Pretty sure cruiser parts has some. I know they don't have any swb 45 glass which was a different size as well
I believe I emailed them in spring and they didn't. Extreme bends might be worth a try for corner glass. He had said he did but didn't respond back to several notes.
I'm gonna try cerium polishing of scratches on mine, if doesn't work maybe just add a sticker

Yes, I saw the sliders. That may be an option but would prefer the OEM.

The flat. Glass shop may have to do. The way I understand it, they can only do non-tempered as I think tempered is cast.
They do windshield glass all the time. I don't see why yhe back would be any different. FWIW, the glass I took out to put in the slider was a hand cut replacement made from a tempered windshield glass. I still have it somewhere, but I don't see the point in offering it.

Thanks for the offer. I will prob just go the glass shop route. It would be nice to have some accurate measurements or template however. I saw some numbers in the slider thread, wasn't sure those would be close enough. I guess i could measure the hole size and subtract the weatherstrip section dimension. I did call cruiserparts dot net today...nada.
Sor sells a template for the front maybe they do for the back? or do the slider in the back instead.
Pretty sure I have a factory rear I can measure tomorrow.

Thanks!
I would appreciate that, thanks. Seems it may be useful to others here as well. Need height, width, radius. I wonder if a glass company could be talked into doing a run of these in tempered...just a thought.
I always thought for less then two years they made the SWB with a removable top the cab was the same as the LWB.
But it did surprise me when I bought my pickup that the corner glass was shorter then the FJ40.
45 1/4 glass is all the same size
I've had some pieces made from a template and then tempered. It was for a shower stall but I don't think it matters what it's for. It didn't seem to be a big deal. They just had to send the temlpate down to Vancouver. Took a couple weeks.
Local shop made my last windshield.
I assumed its laminate with plastic in middle. Couldn't they make rear glass the same way?

Measured the rear window (have 2 and they are identical) 44 1/4 x 12 1/4 and roughly a 2" radius.

Good info. Template?....cardboard? paper? Would three dimensions and a thickness be enough?
Yes definitely an option, but considerably thicker than the original tempered from what I was told.
Thank you!
