FJ55 Window Felt

[residualboulders]

Looks like the definitive weatherstrip guide thread is outdated, part numbers no longer available. I was able to get just about everything from SLOCruisers a while back, but not window felt. Anyone sourced something that will work well here?

Anyone sourced something that will work well here?

From my Rockauto order, cant tell you if these are still good numbers but might be a good place to start.
FAIRCHILD 01994X2 (0199-4X2) Belt Weatherstrip / Window Scraper Seal

FAIRCHILD 14574X2 (1457-4X2)

FAIRCHILD 12814X2 (1281-4X2) Belt Weatherstrip / Window Scraper Seal

 

[residualboulders]

looks like they still pull up, where did you use each of these? without stainless bead? so all black rubber?

 

[J Mack]

I used the FAIRCHILD 14574X2 on the outside of the windows in an effort to keep water out of my doors.

I believe the FAIRCHILD 12814X2 or the FAIRCHILD 01994X2 is for the inside.



Sorry I’m not more help

 

[residualboulders]

cool. looks like those other two are just different sizes of the same. Did the outside weatherstrip work well for you? i like the idea of preventing water from getting in the door.

 

[J Mack]

I like the look.

I used part # 70-3804-61 Outer Beltline and 70-0961-60 Weatherstrip Beltline from Steele Rubber Products.

if I recall when I was trying to order Rock Auto pulls up the part number but it wasn't available. (Within the last 3-4 months)

How do you like the fit on those? They look like they fit nicely.

What about the rear window? Do you need something larger?

Wanted to confirm that I wasn't passing out a dead part number so I just checked it out and looks to be back in stock

This might be cool if a guy wanted the stainless trim and also wanted the wiper style outer.

oh man, thanks @J Mack. That stainless steel belt might be cool actually just because it looks more stock but has the benefit of the flap. I ordered from rockauto yesterday and got a shipping confirmation so sounds like they had them in stock. I just started taking the doors apart for paint today. This quarantine has given me some extra time I hadn't planned on.

What did you end up using on the tailgate? same stuff?

What did you end up using on the tailgate?

I used the “SLOCRUISERS FJ55 UPPER TAILGATE SEAL” for the outer and bought either the FAIRCHILD 12814X2 or the FAIRCHILD 01994X2 for the inner.

I must have bought the last one he had last week. Showing "out of stock" now.

It’s always worth a phone call and talk directly to John, everything currently on my pig was “out of stock” when I bought it.

Seem to Fit just fine. I haven't investigated the back window yet.

I was able to get everything from SLOcruisers a while back except those felt pieces. I started accumulating everything I needed to complete this paint job a couple of years ago. I'm excited to get it all reassembled and to have doors that seal - no weatherstrip in some places before, i'm guessing because the PO didn't know where to find them. Or maybe they just liked the draft. Not a big deal unless you ever plan to take the cruiser on a dirt road.

I assume that would look something like this but with maybe a tiny bit of rubber overlap onto the door? If so that would be a nice solution.

Actually I've been through your build......twice.

But now I have a reason to go back and actually write something down. Thanks.
