Solution for discontinued tailgate weatherstripping - 1986 4runner

[Gwisenick]

hey guys,

I recently bought a 1st gen runner and the tailgate weather stripping came out the day I bought it :|
I was able to buy the outer seal but I am since the inner seal was discontinued my only option is a very cracked one from a junk yard.

Has anyone had to deal with this before and found a viable solution?
Maybe the 2nd gen seal would fit with the 1st gen clips?

You're in Denver. Did you call jim at yodajims.com. Toyota only junkyard and they have always had what I needed in decent condition...It's a honey hole.

Either that or get ahold of Beno here on the forum. He's a Toyota parts guy that can get it if it's available.

I put a fiberglass bed on mine and the oem stuff wouldn't work anymore. I just went to Lowes and found some vinyl door sweeps and some thick felt weather stripping and made my own. It actually worked out well, just took my time.

The last I checked that gasket is was not available, and that was at least 10 years ago.
