Replacing a Sliding Glass Window in 75 series Troopy

The main surprise in this process is just how easy it is! The window assembly is held in place by an internal cover strip (the “Window Guard”) that is a plastic moulding with a C cross-section

Another informative blog, thank you.
Have you replaced the trim, and if so did you use a genuine Toyota part or an aftermarket trim.

I need to replace the rubbers around the windows but at Toyota prices an prepared to put up with it for a while yet...

cheers

Hi Michael,

The C section Window Guard is pretty stiff and in my case rather set in its shape after 20+ years. It did not need replacing, still good as new.

Once removed, I cleaned everything thoroughly but did not attempt removal of the rubber. No doubt the assembly could be dismantled, but it looked pretty stubborn so I didn't attempt to do so, so can't comment on replacement of the rubber.

If you'd like copies of the relevant pages from the Toyota manual, please get back to me and advise your email address.

Cheers

John
