Noob here, restoring a 1980 pickup that I've had forever. Recently got head-on collided. Major surgery repair complete, and now painting.
Does anyone know a source for rear window weatherstrip? Hope to replace sliding (whistling) window with solid, and want to paint under the gasket anyway.
After much searching, I'm still coming up dry.
Thanks!

I've seen some older style weatherstrips, gaskets & other parts available on Ebay, from a seller in Thailand named ATOMBOYS.

My rear slider latch was missing. I pulled the slider and used it as a pattern to make a one piece window out of smoked Plexiglas. I was able to use my original window seal though. My Plexiglas widow has been in the truck for about 7 years. I'm really happy with it. rockauto has a lot of parts for these trucks.

I bought one from rick@toyheadauto.com. Haven't received it yet. Pretty pricy (a little under $200 bottom line), but it should survive the remaining life of the truck.

When I remove the slider, I'll take it to a glass shop for a custom-cut solid window. I'll tent it, like the side windows (currently out, to paint the doors).

(If anyone is interested, my slider is good except it whistles. I think the clip is good even -- but since you can open them with a credit card, I made a metal thing that snaps over both sides to keep them together.)
