MPR Hard Top FJ 40 rear glass gasket replacement. Size of factory top rear glass gasket 40 or other models that might fit?

[Storm Ranch]

Anybody know a gasket that would get close? Glass is 14" x "32 approx.

Thanks

Have you looked into these?

I haven’t. Do you have any knowledge of them working in an MPR hard top?

 

[devo]

No I don’t but if i had to, or when I need to replace mine I would look into them. You are not going to find an exact fit I’m afraid, but will be interested in what you find.

Maybe I’ll order a set, if CR has a return policy, and report back. It doesn’t need to be an OEM solution, just so long as it does the job.

Agreed a solution that does the job is perfect. How are your back door glass and corner windows seals?

They’re really good. My hunch is that someone replaced them along the line. The slider seals are crap.

Do you have a better photo of your slider seals? Mine look different than yours.

Here's a bit better photo of the side profile of the seal as well as the window itself.

Would these shapes work……

I’ll do some measuring tomorrow in the daylight and let you know but the shape profile looks promising.

I’ve had a few folks with Colombian connections check into those gaskets and I get nothing back!

Which glass is in question? Back door or curved side glass?

Pm send !

Looks like you don’t have any external seals on that slider window, correct?

 

[devo]

Those photos of the sliders without the external seals are inspirational!

A picture of the windows of 15 years ago, so before the frame off.

We changed the concept a little and now the windows have a rubber between the base of the alu window frame and the fiberglass top.
.
It gave the alu frame less tension and a bit more room to loosen up and let the windows slide easier.
Imho it also looks much better.

Yes, there is a little space visable
It was planned to 3m seal it of neat, never got to it, but it can easely be done.

Hi guys,

Wondering if someone can help me out with the measurements of the 40 series rear hatch window opening, and glass. Mine is a '73.

Thanks.

It doesn't look like your top is a MPR top, so what are you looking for cuz your top is intact and doesn't look like it needs repair?
