Having mine replaced on Monday, interestingly the 93-94 FSM only calls for sealant on the glass side. They must have realized the issue with water intrusion and changed the FSM for the 95-97's to correct this issue.
Picture BO3678 in your attachment shows sealant applied to both glass and body sides.

well, would you look at that, it sure does. I feel super special now...
I replaced my front glass with OEM gasket and Fuyao glass. No problems so far. You could seal the glass at any time after installment with the only downside being that the sealing surfaces might get dirty and inhibit sealant from adhering to surface.
Old thread bump.
I might be getting an 80 series that needs a windshield, among a lot of other things, but was wondering if anyone had a reliable glass company near Long Beach, CA that is capable of doing this job correctly. I would do it myself as I used to do windshield replacements at the independent BMW shop I used to work at but I’m wanting insurance to pick up the tab.

You have to pay extra to get windscreen coverage here on pretty much all full-comp insurance policies.
Is OEM glass available? I know at one time the availability was in question. I think the last piece of OEM glass for an 80 I used was $1100, but that was in 2014'ish?
IIRC last time it was discussed earlier this year all color options were NLA.
However there are many sites online that still list it as being available and some say Not For Sale. On the other hand my local dealer said early this year (2022) that all color options had been discontinued.
IDK, maybe a few of us could call our local dealers to confirm??

W/r to Alfredo's windshield replacement, I have the following questions"
a) how long a lead time to get an apt?
b) how long did it take them from drop off to pickup?
c) I am assuming he/you required OEM parts, did you get those from a toyota dealer near them? if so, contact info would be greatly appreciated.
May the force be with you!

got it.
I'm in the 100 world, so not concerned about availability.

I just went through this scenario and this post might be of some help:

Windshield glass shimmies when it's cold out while driving on bumpy roads
If the weatherstripping was re-used the job did not meet the factory -proscribed procedure.

You can still get OEM windshields not sure why people are having trouble finding them. May not be able to use your normal dealer but they’re available. I’m currently looking for one myself. With shipping it’s over $500

OEM windshield was made by PGW and they're no longer in existence from what I believe.
I just looked up the windshield glass at my local dealership and it looks available.
