was going to say take it to a glass shop and have them pull it and replace it.

Those hardtops are cool! I never saw one first hand until @devo picked me up at the Denver airport in his rig four years ago. When you find the answer to your question, please post up so that others with this
top can benefit.

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?

Okay now I know you’re looking for the back door glass.
Later I’ll send you a part # of the seal I used.
But what can see in the photo your seal is different than mine.
And yes a glass installer should be able to tell you what gasket shape you need.

I bought one from City Racer but have not installed it.

Does it match up pretty close when you hold it up to the glass? What's part #?

To my knowledge CR doesn’t have any direct part replacements for a MPR hard top!
The MPR was specific to the Colombian 40 series and the window gaskets/ seals are not the same as on an OEM hard top.

My apologies, I did not realize the OP was discussing the MPR hard top.
Here's a link to the weatherstripping I mentioned: Rear Hatch Window Glass Weatherstrip for Land Cruiser FJ40 - https://www.cityracerllc.com/products/rear-hatch-window-weatherstrip-for-land-cruiser-fj40?_pos=3&_sid=ef5f2487a&_ss=r
Perhaps this can help someone.

Yes, but if it's similar and hopefully just a little bit bigger maybe i can cut it and make it work.
Thoughts? it's just a flat edge on glass side and frame side.

Can you take a picture of the inside of the gasket? Hard to tell but that may be an offset type gasket. Original probably won't fit this.
That being said any good Mom & Pop Glass Shop can find the gasket for you. Stan-Pro products can also be found with a simple search.
Still not sure why this never made it into the FAQ's.

First of all I wanted to thank Potato Launcher for being a HUGE help w/ this install. He came all the way from Amarillo (about 6 hours away) to help me with the install. He said he'd be more than happy to help me out as long as I shared the info with the rest of the MUD community by creating a...

Okay @Storm Ranch this what my back door glass seal looks like. It is S shape with the small channel 2mm fits the fiber glass door and the large 4mm channel fits the glass…..
this is the old gasket in the photos
Wish I could remember who I ordered it from?

Theoretically, if the seal was cut somewhat long and squeezed in it wouldn't later open up. That said I'm not an expert glass layer and I've only got what I've read to go by. I'm thinking an extra 1-1.5" so that the seal is as tight as possible.

If you read up on using auto glass gaskets/seals it will say to add 1-11/2” to the over all length.
The gap in that gasket was cut out so I could see what shape and the channel size for my replacement gasket. The gasket did not “open up”. It’s the same rule of thumb to add length even when replacing door seals.
You have to be careful ordering gasket material. If the channel is not sized correctly the glass and body seal may not be tight enough and will not hold in place.

This would be correct. Straight cut for the joint. Urethane windshield adhesive can be used on the seam after install.
I just wanted to let y'all know that I had some recent correspondence with the company that does 3-D printing (to include rubber gaskets) and they said they were somewhat confident that they could reproduce what's needed for my project (FJ43 MPR hard top slider window gaskets), but quoted a price of $1000 per seal for the gaskets on my MPR hard top. That's way too rich for my blood, so I'm continuing to look.
This is the gasket I'm in need of, which seals the slider window from the outside.
