1st gen 4runner Weatherstrip cab/top
My top to cab seal on my 1987 4Runner is dry rot and leaks the Weatherstrip from Toyota Part Number: 65888-89102 has been discontinued for years. I have searched a lot and found nothing. I have read a lot of threads and didn't find anyone had got a solution for a sub for it. Any help would be great.
Thanks. |
I ended up trying this It has been dry and no signs of leaking at all.
I see a few people looked at this so I just wanted to follow up on what I came up with on my own. It looks almost like stock installed as well. |
I am glad you found something that worked!
Thanks for replying back and sharing what works. I wish there was more quality aftermarket support for parts like these for our trucks. :safari: |
Perfect. I was going to suggest paging through Amazon. That looks exactly right. This is better because if Toyota still made it you know it would cost $150.

Any pics of the amazon foam installed?

I know this post is getting old but it is worth noting that the Softopper company sells tons of spare parts, one of which is replacement bulb seal for the hardtop (because they require you to leave it in place during installation - so if the oem cab seal on your truck is shot they will send you a new one so the soft top is leak free.) They also have bolts for the hardtop and more. So in the future if no one feels like doing the hunting Softopper will sell and ship to you bulb seal for the hardtop and hardtop bolts for a reasonable price. It is a good quality seal, correct bulb shape, with a run off lip. (I used to have their soft top before I got an STC).
It is also $15 instead of $45. |

SUPER LONG shot but can anyone confirm softoppers bulb seal works? I am trying to get a lead on an aftermarket weatherstrip for my 84 4runner. Previous owner used sillicone and I installed a soft top from LCE but have a couple months before I need to install the hard top.

Yes it does work and looks to be identical to the original. I installed one last year after I took the oddball one I found that worked.

Can`t say about that brand but I know there is a company out there that makes all kind of weather stripping. Like10mm wrenches I never can find things when I look forthem.
