Locking key strips aren't used on later model FJ40s. The weatherstrip is "one piece".

Got it and thanks. My experience is based on 75-78 and didn't understand.

Well, I got the windsheild out and have to patch a couple paint spots on the windsheild frame so the new weatherstripping has to wait a couple days. I put the new gasket up to the windsheild and it seemed a little big. This was the case last time that I did this and I had to cut it to fit and it got all messed up(and leaked) and that is why I am replacing it again. I specifically called a dealership that had a 65 parts book to get the right part number this time. Does toyota sell just a universal gasket and you are supposed to cut to fit? This doesnt seem right to me and I dont want to mess it up again and have to do this again later down the road. Thanks.
what year is the gasket you have now for.
Anyone know a part number for the gasket on a 61? Frame has vents.

Most glass is tinted - non-tinted glass is more expensive. I had mine done with green tint- you don't notice the tint - mine was around $170ish.

Well, the gasket I orderd from CDan was too big and in the end caused too many problems(cut too much out of it). So I called up SOR and ordered a gasket they said would fit the windsheilds with the vent at the bottom. Had it installed today for $20, it fit perfect. The part number for the weatherstripping was 120-03A-A. It says it may require trimming but mine didnt.
about time! Geeeeze

I went through this a couple years ago with my 64. The gasket I ordered from SOR (I don't know which ppart # it was) did need to be cut, but since I had a local glass guy do the install, he cut it, matched it up, and bonded the ends so it's nearly impossible to tell where the cut was.
The only compaint I had was that since the gasket was a continuous extrusion, there were no molded corners. Where the gasket bends around the corners, it buckled a little bit, but my glass guy filled the voids with sealant. It's hardly noticeable, but still...
Glass is one of the few things I'll pay someone else to do. $75 for new glass, installed with a leak-free granrantee.
