How to Install a Windshield Seal on an '84 Toyota Pickup

These windshields come glued in from the factory and they are a nightmare to replace. I found a generic seal on eBay, unsure if it was even going to work. Fingers crossed. Oh yeah, and my windshield is already broken.
Here's a link to the seal I bought

I totally appreciate that it took 7 tries and three people to do this, and that you included those pertinent facts! Makes me respect the installer that shows up all alone in some parking lot all the more too.

in non US markets, toyota made a rubber seal for the diesel hiluxes. it fits on our pickups and runners. its part number 56121-89117.

I need to do this to my 85, the chrome trim has been missing for years. Thanks for explaining it all... subscribed!

[@matthewlee2686]

I'm about to install one tomorrow . I got some metal trim for sale

[@BraddaMarlon]

Are you still selling thr trim

[@6thGearGarage]

@@BraddaMarlon I have it stored in a box until the time comes to replace the windshield.

[@timmurphy9834]

@@6thGearGarageyou plan to re-use the chrome trim when you replace the windshield?

[@6thGearGarage]

@@timmurphy9834 I've already painted it black to match the rest of the trim on the truck.

Thanks for the vid, I'm soon installing a nice rubber trim with chrome insert on my 87' should go much smoother now.

[@djcodybreaker]

Great video thanks! I’ve got a 1985 Toyota SR5 4wd pickup. I’m probably gonna get the eBay from Thailand gasket similar to the one you got. Did you use any 3m weatherstrip glue/sealant around the outside at all? I talked to a local glass place near me and they said aftermarket rubber weatherstripping doesn’t work for these trucks but you show that it can be done. That’s awesome. Thanks

[@Jake-im2lv]

I need to cut out some rot and weld in new metal on my 83 Celica, was gonna use one of these style seals as well. Might KBS coat the entire windscreen frame as well while im in there

[@dockerylucas3710]

I replaced my back glass the same way it was pretty easy with pressure if you push on the glass while pulling makes it a lot easier

[@robertrichmond1831]

You do not need to remove the dash to get that lower plate off. Unbolt it and drill out the 5 spot welds and it lifts write off. My truck is a 86 if that makes any difference.

[@Toyotas_n__Tools]

If you ever have to do this again use a bucket of hot water with a little soap in it, i bet it would go on like butter... maybe use a air dryer also

[@Matthew.Christensen]

How has the seal worked out for you over the last 3 years? Any leaks? I'm about to start the same project, debating on getting the same gasket you used

[@matthewkirkham8234]

Did you have to grind the glass or window seal to make it fit right?

[@lensmanicfeleven1847]

...is that a long crack across the driver side bottom?...

[@glenngamboa9224]

Nice Video Buddy this really going to help me So I was hearing the 90 hilux mold also can fit?

[@OGVSOGLUCKY]

My LN65 have rubber factory like that

[@redbeard9412]

Love your collection. I have an 1984 toyota pickup, 2wd. Longbed. And I recently had my front window broken. I had it replaced. But after messing with the chrome paneling for about a month after the person who replaced it broke some of my clips. I've decided to do the same thing with my window. Are you still satisfied with the install? Seal works good? I think its a huge upgrade from the chrome. Just curious on how its holding.

[@legacynorthwest1249]

Thanks! Yes im still happy with the rubber. All my trucks leak no matter what i seem to do, but i dont believe its leaking from the windshield on this truck anymore. Id say go for it. Its much better than the chrome. Especially if you live under trees, where they shed and get debris under the chrome trim. Good luck!

[@capeman10]

Just subscribed, good job on the new rubber 👍🏼 I have an 87 which seal # should I get I know there are two difference ones on ebay?

[@jeffreyrodriguez1599]

Hello I have a 1988 toyota pickup I would like to how if the rubber seal work on that

[@senate2042]

So that seal is meant to be used without any butyl or urethane adhesive?

[@dougveit]

You the man!

[@robenmillan6994]

Thank you for the video man

[@ColonCrusher]

How do you tell what LN number your truck is? I found a gasket for a LN85 but idk if it fits my truck. It’s a 93 4x4 single cab

[@cdcorrigan]

No sealant required ?

[@Toyotas_n__Tools]

Do you know if this kit is available for 89-95 trucks?

[@RossWilliamsDC]

LegacyNorthWest Do you know if the removal/install is the same for the 1990 pickups? Thanks

[@legacynorthwest1249]

Im sure its similar. It may have plastic clips just like these trucks. Go slow, and buy some plastic trim removers from harbor freight.

[@senate2042]

Now the rubber seal from Thailand is like 80 bucks on ebay

[@albertoarce463]

Thank brotha I'm in the middle of this lol

[@CruiserRunner]

Curious how your seal has held up and performed since install

[@legacynorthwest1249]

It's good quality, but I've only had it on for a couple months. So far so good. I'm very pleased with it. Still getting leaks through some of the seam sealer in some hard to reach areas, but the windshield is still sealing in the rain.

[@Toyotas_n__Tools]

Can you help me put a twin stick setup from lce in my forward shift w56 this spring? I been wanting to head out to the coastal area to screw around with the truck, do you have instagram or facebook i can contact you on?

[@legacynorthwest1249]

Yeah I'd help you with that. I've never done it and I'd love to learn how to. I have two t cases I could build too, and we could do it together. What adapter did you buy? Send me an email to [e-mail] and I'll give you my contact info.

[@edubz6530]

That's nice you should see mine 🤣

[@ramblerclassicman221]

Ospho is a combination of solvents and phosphoric acid. It converts iron III oxide into iron phosphate, which is a black colour. By creating a non-water permeable barrier, oxygen is no longer able to react with iron. Water catalyses the reaction between iron and oxygen by holding water in solution. Because iron slakes so bad when it rusts, water is able to penetrate the oxidized layers, further worsening the issue in a cyclical manner. I forgot to put the clips in behind the windshield under the urethane when I replaced the windshield. Jesus Christ Toyota this and the fucking bed/frame rust issues. Now I gotta cut a bunch of urethane away and stick the clips in. The chrome trim is seriously retarded. Bends super easy. I had the same rust problems between the clips and the a pillar. Just used some touch up paint. I don’t know how to get the trim to fit back in. If I could just get it to fit then I’d glue the shit. Should just leave it off.

[@legacynorthwest1249]

Yeah I'm glad I have the seal in there instead of the urethane. The bed rust isn't Toyota's fault. Because of the chicken tax, the beds were built primarily in California, and put on in America after shipping the trucks over here. American steel was inferior to Japanese steel. Facts for facts, thanks for posting!

[@ramblerclassicman221]

LegacyNorthWest honestly I’m sad too that Toyota stopped making these mini trucks. Now their Tacoma’s are the size of my old t100. That thing was a long box truck too, full 8 feet! I’m gonna cut the urethane back and stick some clips in behind the windshield when warmer weather comes. Wish I’d of found your video before I decided to glue it in!

[@mannyroman9455]

Wanting to know what number windshield u have, I bought the seal and there are different size windshields out there my code is (FW 00471) these are the last on the windshield some people say you have to shave the bottom and each side, if you can see what code windshield you have I would appreciate it

[@legacynorthwest1249]

Im happy to if you tell me how to tell? I dont see any markings on the windshield itself.

[@mannyroman9455]

@@legacynorthwest1249 there should be different letters and numbers on the driver’s side bottom corner of the windshield

[@cdcorrigan]

Do you need to put any sealant on before putting in the windshield?
