Okay here it is the a long awaited rear full window slider for the Toyota FJ45 (not the center opening type window) but a one side open type slider as seen here. It works nice.
After a little over 1/2 year of researching and some hair loss, I had found a US manufacture of windows that was willing to take on the production of the FJ45 rear sliding window.
The company:
Hehr - California Window Plant
3333 Casitas Avenue
P.O. Box 39160
Los Angeles, CA 90039-0160
Phone: 323-663-1261
Fax: 323-666-2372
This company has been around for sometime and have several branches in different states and are a well know company. The one I received the first window from was the Las Angles branch ( contact information is as seen above).
With the professional guidance from the sales team I was able to produce this signal slider. Not the center opening type (pass through) on most trucks seen. See slider information and photos. A big thanks to A good Mudd man - tornadoalleycruiser for his second opinion help in looking at the overall possibilities of this slider. Thanks
Now I am not going to go into the long and drawn out how's, and the why this window is what it is, but will say I was lucky to get this one.
Long story short, it works, it moves the air in and out and round the cab in the summer, and when it rains and snows it keeps it dry and warm, if you have a working heater.
I took it out on a test drive with out side temp of 96 degrees to see if it would produce rattles, whistling or any other unwanted sounds but was just fine. With just the bug catcher window open and all others closed but the slider it was nice to feel the air on the back of my head as I drove (RHD). With all windows closed but the slider and the drivers window, it was even better.
As we all know everyone like pictures as they pretty much tell the whole story, so I have included enough photos of the window when it arrived from the factory, before installed and after to hopefully give you all aspects of this slider to answer any questions you might of had. I will say that you will have to modify the window before installing, and all this requires is removing 1/6" from both ends of the window frame with a file or a power tool. Now I place the window up against my cab opining to see about how much needs to be trimmed away, so each of you will have to make your own measurements before shaving the edge. All the FJ45 window cab openings are the same. It will not be much, just make your shaving as flat and without getting to much into the corners. I used 3/8 round butyl tape seal (window sealer/panel) that you can get at most any auto body paint shop and one roll is all you need. I used it on the cab outer seal on the window frame and then I used some 1/4 strips of spruce wood (see the one photo) to use as a spacer between the window clamp and window to give me a bit more pull when installing the sheet metal screws. You can use the butyl tape on both side and get good results also without the wood, I just elected to do it this way. Window did not come with screws I bought stainless steel hex head type (photo) and used a socket as I hate the Philips heads as you always strip out the head. Any questions I will be happy to answer as best as possible. Oh yeah it even has a screen that slides.
Now I am not the seller of this window, I am just the person who did the leg work to get one made for the FJ45, I leave the selling to the company that makes them and or whomever, just not me so please do not send me any money or orders, I just ask you just post you photos of your new installed window with your tips or thoughts on the window for others to see. One thing is, not everyone will be happy with the window and people will nick and pick, but if that's the case, remember the bottom line, its better than nothing at all and until now there was nothing. I'm glad I did it.
Okay with that said the Hehr gave the FJ45 window a part number of 1961-114-436-3535-1551. I paid around $350, I know this is a little more that some were thinking but that's the price. You can get lower prices with more than ten windows, just ask them.
