Are they worth a damn?
Searched and the last comment I could find was 2010 and they said they were "as good" as OEM. Anyone here use their kit(s) on a FJ40 ? Looking specifically at the windshield and door kits.

@Racer65 has nice door weather stripping. I've installed it 5 times on my 4 doors. I don't know if he makes repro windshield but I think the oem version is still available and not too spendy.

I had some pretty good frustration getting my doors to shut right after installing the new WS. Combination of a new OEM door strike mechanism and adjusting the door ended up fixing it. Unfortunately by that time I had already tried to trim the DS WS so I pulled it off and put a new one on. Thankfully his stuff is only about $50 per door.

Alexi - Since I think you're budget-oriented, I'd say go with CCOT. OEM has molded corners on the doors, CCOT does not but a little concentration will work wonders as you install it. I have no experience with either windshield gasket. My CCOT door gaskets have been great for 6 years now. Definitely not the same as OEM but the installer is what makes or breaks this one...take your time and make some cuts in the right places.

And... I think I might still have a CCOT set for the ambulance doors but I won't know for another 7-10 days. Lemme know if that might help.

I think I used CCOT door WS and it does the job just fine, but I only run a soft top.

Here's the weather stripping I used. It was molded based on OEM.

Here's all his weather stripping. He's got 60 and 55 series windshield WS but not 40 for some reason.

Cityracer’s rubber kits have all been a perfect fit on my 40

Nothing goes on any easier and fits better than OEM but the city racer stuff is very good.
