Rear sliding glass weatherstripping

It’s discontinued from Toyota. Anyone know where I can get it? I’m not talking about the outside gasket that surrounds the window. I’m talking about the smaller gaskets and felt used with the sliding windows

I decided not to tint my rear window because I couldn't find these weather seals. Please post an update if you manage to find some.

I'm looking for this too, about to get a solid back window for it just so it doesn't leak. I like having the sliding window though

I recently replaced most of the plastic and felt in my windows with standard automotive weather stripping that you can get from Home Depot or most auto stores. It took some finessing with a pick and flat head to get it seated into the vertical channels on the windows. I also had to cut it down to fit in there.
I haven't had a heavy rain yet so I'm not sure how water tight it is but it's definitely stopped the windows from rattling when they're open and looks like it's sealing pretty well.
The horizontal channel on the outside, between the two fixed pieces of glass had a dry old piece of plastic in it that was chipped and broken so that also got some weather stripping. It fit in nice and tight and is undoubtedly going to work better.
It's also incredibly cheap so if I have to replace it some day no problem. There are many different sizes and shapes of this stuff.

Thanks, I'll have to try that. Is it still easy to slide your window open? I love having a rear slider so I'm hoping I can make this work

Yes it is. I put a full strip in the track above the sliding windows and it really just took up some of the huge gap that was there allowing them to rattle before.
Now they wedge into that rubber strip at their outer edge when open and hold tight.
The vertical track between the sliding and fixed windows required cutting the rubber down to fit in there nicely and not bind up. That's where you'll have to get creative.

Thank you, I noticed yesterday when looking at it that that is where I have water coming in- the gap between the sliding window and fixed window

The rear window seals on my '83 were okay except for the bottom track, which is shaped like a "U" with a square bottom. There are two weep holes in the bottom track, and the rubber seal stops about 1cm short of the weep holes. I found a China-based direct seller of rubber U track on ebay, took a chance and ordered some...and it fits! The size is 8mm (slot) X 11mm (width) X 12mm (height). It is listed as "Black Rubber U Channel Edging Trim Seal Door Window Edge Protector Strip U-shape".

It must be glued in place using "gorilla snot" (3M trim adhesive) but it fits, I did have to take a 1cm notch out of the back leg of the seal where the vertical divider pieces (the ones that hold the gray fuzzy seals) intersect with the bottom track, but at least I have windows that slide smoothly again and don't rattle and leak air like before.

Here is the link, useful as long as the auction is up, I guess: https://www.ebay.com/itm/403140028428?var=673262117216

The one thing I would add would be to ask them to ship it rolled into a coil. They prepared mine by folding it back and forth onto itself and then wrapping it tightly with shrink wrap. It kinda mangled it. It would be worth it to pay a dollar extra to have them coil it loosely even if that requires a larger package.

If you need the gray fuzzy seals, they're a pretty standard part for trailers that use jalousie style louvered windows. Vintage Trailer Supply might be able to help you with those.

I hope this helps someone.
