Rear corner curved glass - 1975 FJ40: How do you tell the difference?

[jstanger]

Hey, everyone. I have a single curved glass corner for an FJ40. I know that it is from 1972 onwards, because it has the larger dimensions (about 15" high, for example). I'll be putting it on a mid-1970's era FJ40 top when I source it.

My question is: How do you tell the difference between a right hand and a left hand curved glass panel without putting it on the actual top? I'd like to know which side I have. I'm looking to source a new top, and so forth, and would like to purchase the correct second corner glass.

Thank you, asu4runner. I see you have a 75 FJ40 as well! Yes, the folks at Classic Cruisers are fantastic. I'll give them a call if I don't get an answer here.

There is a part number etched on the glass. Then see which one you have.

Hope this helps.
