So I want to remove the third-row seatbelts from my GX460 since I will be placing a drawer system in the back. After looking at some of the installs I was wondering if it would be possible to replace the 7 seat plastic molding with the 5 seat Prado plastic molding. I have attached a picture of the GX molding and Prado 150 molding. Also, I have looked online and cannot find any website where I can buy this specific part.

Let me know who I should reach out to or if anyone on here can sell me both a left and a right-side 5 seat Prado 150 molding that's black.

There is a 5 seat version of the GX 460 in Eurasian markets


Load floor in rear is lower as well.

One would probably have to scour Partsouq or such for PNs.

So I found this: Заглушка Toyota 62477-60010-B0 для Toyota Land Cruiser (150)-Prado 2009> - https://euroauto.ru/part/used/22500648/

And also this part: Toyota 62477-60010-A0 (6247760010A0) CAP, ROOF SIDE INNER GARNISH, LH - https://www.amayama.com/en/part/toyota/6247760010a0
 
Following.

Alright, I have ordered a couple of parts from amayama.com. We'll see what shows up and go from there. Apparently, the only colors are tan or gray. I might have to do some painting on the pieces, but I will keep everyone updated. Lastly, the parts should get here sometime at the end of November.
 
Update! Parts have come however, they only come in gray or tan. I will next have to paint them black. See the images below.

When painting, just make sure you prep the parts really good.
First, research and find the best paint for color match and adhering to plastic. I think Rustolium advertises itself for plastics, like lawn furniture. Wash them with dish soap and water first. That removes all the injection mold release material that may be left on it. Then use isopropyl alcohol (IPA, not the beer) and wipe everything down very good. Then DO NOT touch the surfaces to be painted.
Then paint and wait to dry!!
Apologies if any of this is redundant. But many people don't know how to properly paint plastics (polymers) and that some plastics can't be painted.

Thanks for the tip! I will be sure to follow that.
 
Update! So I can confirm the part does fit as attached in the photo. I also removed the third row last night and installed a drawer system. Take a look! The part moldings also still need to be painted and I will likely do that this weekend.

Nice, I have the same drawers and I just ordered the trim pieces. Did you just store the seat belts behind the trim piece?
Yes, you can do that, it's actually what the instructions say (which are limited). However, I ended up cutting the belt out of the black trim piece in order to remove the belt. I will see if any rattling occurs and if so might take further steps.
