Looks like outside of the frames on the bottom have squished "packing" (62746-90K00). Inside edge looks like butyl still on the frame.

Thanks.
Yes, the windows are just as I received them. I'm getting ready to take apart and clean up. All weatherstripping and glues/rubber are still present but badly deteriorated.
I see the packing is on the 80 series sliders, but mine are 60 series (I compared the sliders to my current fixed glass)
I assume its for centering the window when installing?

did this work?
From looking at them I assumed it was to space the window off the body and prevent it from bumping as well as give a place for the water to drain.
I have the 4 or 5 triangle pieces spaced around each window, plus the 'D' shaped trim that others have dealt with and I understand that is what centers the window...I had just not seen the additional 'packing' mentinoned before in the 60 series rebuid threads.
The D shape trim covers the front 2/3 on the top and front of the vehicle. It's job is to prevent water from being able to reach the butyl. It fills the space between the body and the window frame to help prevent leaks. I think @red66toy had a good photo of this at one point.
Toyota calls the small wedges you described as "packing".

Let me get a photo of where the D-cell stripping went. My windows had three packing wedges on the bottom and one on the rear edge. None on the leading edge or the top.

Where the D-cell weatherstripping went based on the old stuff I peeled off:
Thanks! My set of windows has the 'D' shaped strip still attached and I have ordered some replacement. The D shaped seal is not on the bottom of the window.
I have the triangle shaped pieces as well.
What I posted is my question. I have not seen any additional exterior weather strip on the bottom of the window in other rebuild threads. Possible changes throughout the years?
What I'm seeing is on both windows, at the bottom. About 10 inches between frame drain holes.

well after some more digging, in this very thread no less, I found the part i'm talking about....#62753
Looks to be the P/N mentioned by @NookShneer

Anyone bought this recently?

I'm in the same situation; I have the windows restored; I bought most of the parts to do the restoration...
If you order that part, please post pictures.
The factory install manual reference the use of butyl tape to hold the window but my take is that using a modern urethane adhesive window would be a better solution.

I'm going to order and see...its cheap enough....some sites state that the additional packing on the bottom of the window is only for 80 series, but I see some AUS and JPN sites list it for 60 series as well. I'll see.
I've got butyl tape and generic D shaped seal to reinstall
I'm going to order the fairchild p/n 06378 for the 'bailey channel' slider
Last part I need is new felt for the center post....what did you use? I don't see the need to order the new 80 series center posts (and cut them) when all I need is the felt.
There will be lots of pics.
CRL sells "window pile" or "zipper pile" weather stripping. I ordered samples of three sizes from DKHardware.
CRL FS7716C-CCP4
CRL Z78273C-CCP4
CRL A11420C-CCP4
Two worked, one was tight to slide into the extruded center post. In the end though I ordered the 80-series center posts and cut them for several reasons.
1) they're anodized black
2) the CRL pile is grey.
3) they have additional weather stripping on the edges as well which gives a better seal.
4) the price of the new 80-series posts with the weather stripping pre-installed was about a similar price to the zipper pile and I didn't need to buy 100' of it.

The other thing I'll point out.. I ordered the bailey channel from the gentleman on here who helped me get the windows and it came from New Zealand I think.
It's better than anything else I ordered in the US to try but it is asymmetric and can only be installed one way. I made a press tool and spent hours working it in the wrong way, only to have to remove it and flip it around and reinstall in a few minutes. It works great though.
This is after bead blasting and powder coating the frames, using cerium oxide paste to polish the glass and remove water spots, tinting the glass, and reinstalling with new seals and hardware. I took a ton of photos along the way since I was pulling info from several threads on here to figure out the right way to restore them. I'll try and get that posted up here.

@simulacrum I'm waiting with baited breath. I've got some Aussie sliders I need to refurb and can't wrap my head around the myriad posts and myriad caterpillar furs, packings, strips, butyl pieces, etc.
Thanks @simulacrum
I was thinking about the 80 series middle vertical posts, but they are ~$50 each and the pile weatherstrip from Amazon is $30. Not trying to be cheap on this job, but I have good condition center posts that can be re-used, and $70 can buy some beverages. Ha.
You are right though, the 80 series is a more modern design.

Worked great. Just have to cut the inner aspect for the curves
Thanks. Was seeing hints that 8ft might be too short, but no concrete evidence either way.
Those sections were plenty for mine. I had to trim the ends
Given it's likely going to be a long time before I can do flip up windows, I'm going to try to do some maintenance work on my sliders this winter. Unfortunately that means having to figure out a way to cut the butyl tape I used to install em in order to pull them out so I can clean the tracks and put in 80 series dividers. Need to source some more packing wedges and some weatherstrip too for reinstallation.
That might be more than a little bit of a challenge....

OK...I have some insight
For my window rebuild, I ordered the bailey channel from rockauto....Farichild 06378. The length is fine, but its a bit bigger in every dimension than the stock was, so the sliders are TIGHT once re-installed...I can hardly move the glass. I did one window at a time to make sure it was all going to go correctly.
So after I discovered how tight the glass is once 'rebulit', I re-read this thread out of curiosity.
Early on, there was quite a few links and pics referenceing a JC Whitney P/N, but the pics and links are dead.
However, there was a dimension call out that someone quoted that was still there: it stated the openings for each window channel are 1/8" to 3/16", which is a 1/16th smaller than the new referenced Farichild 06378 rubber. The other dims on 06378 are a 1/16th of so bigger too.
And again, as you can see, Scotts Old Rubber sells some rubber (style 350.637) that has the same dims as the Farichild, but also sells style 350.117, which is more in line with the stock 60 rubber, and has been referenced here too.
I'm going to order style 350.117, he sells it for $15.58 per meter/AUS +freight. The 06378 is just too big.
Just wanted to let everyone know and will post back when the new stuff gets here.
