Replace Window Belt Trim on YOUR Toyota - FJ Cruiser Install

[@John-xf6uc]

Great video. My 2011 FJ TT has nearly the same issue (some dry rot cracks appeared on the rear door trim). Your truck looks absolutely amazing. For 10 years old, your FJ looks like it just rolled off the lot yesterday. Beautiful truck! The Army Green (including the roof top) is still my favorite. After watching this video, I bought the same parts and tools. Looking forward to fixing the only flaw on my truck, those rear door trim strips. After 10 years, these things still rock like new.

My trim tool kit was blue and junk. The tools were soft and were just used to get under the trim where I could get hold of it. The tools in Trail Pass vid looked to have some backbone. I changed all four pieces and was a snap. Tkx TP

Great video. Just purchased 2013. Window trims need replaced. Huge help.

[@dawndubinka]

Thanks! I have the same 2011 TT and replaced the weather stripping after watching this. It was more of a pain than installing a roof dam and off road light kit!

[@Militiaman71]

I bought the ones for my 2010 FJ Cruiser front door windows from the dealer. The Dealer service center wanted to charge me $200 in labor to install them. lol. I did it myself. The parts cost me around $60. Now my back door weather strips are falling apart. Thanks for the Amazon links.

[@gregorioh7034]

I realize the video is at least a year old, but wanted to thank you for the video. Picked up the 4 parts from the dealer this morning ($81.20 including tax) and just finished installing. I had the plastic trim tool set ( Harbor Freight) already and used painters tape like you to protect the paint. Total time was about 40 minutes not rushing.

[@TrailPass]

Glad it all worked out for you! Thanks for watching!

[@suemarina]

I just bought them for my 2007. Thanks for the video.

[@mikeharrison4659]

Good video.👍 After watching I ordered all new window trim for a 07 FJ. Very easy to do it yourself. Dealership was pissed.

[@TrailPass]

Great, glad we could help!

[@anavan7]

Thanks for your helpful video! Replaced mine in a matter of minutes!

[@TrailPass]

Glad i could help! The marker lights were on the vehicle when i bought it. Sorry, but i have no clue what they are.

[@anavan7]

@@TrailPass I believe I found them and a no drill wireless too. Pricey but nice looking. www.amazon.com/Cab-Marker-Lights-Solar-Charged/dp/B07NBXD1JR#customerReviews

In between 1:39 and 1:44 the clips were removed. How did you get the old clips off?

[@LuvAtFirstCite]

Hi! In anticipation of doing this project this weekend, I have watched a few videos on this. Just use the plastic pry tool and pop off the clips that stay behind. 😊

[@Natschke_Family_Adventures]

I was upset when you got rid of your Tacoma, but I'm really excited about the FJ videos. Still one of my favorite vehicles ever, and still hope I can find a good one some day. For some reason the ones I find that are a decent buy are always yellow. That's not happening. lol

[@TrailPass]

Thanks, I'm loving the FJ for sure! It's such a unique and different vehicle. I'm not a huge fan of the yellow ones either though....

[@claudioalexiszeballosville6849]

Felicitaciones está como nuevo ese Fj muy buena máquina

[@stephendoerschug5933]

Thanks for the video, very helpful. Do you know if there is a video, or can you make one showing how to replace the front driver side Window Run Gasket. Thank you

[@laurahubbard9470]

Awesome video!! This is just the info I needed

[@TrailPass]

Glad it was helpful!

[@vins1521]

Hey Bandit all you gotta do is run a bead of black calking along the top behind the rubber window trim, I had the same problem with my 2016 Tacoma.

[@JohnSmith-cb5nk]

Nice video really appreciate you sharing, I have an 07 TRD and mine finally need to be replaced, you car also looks in great condition... 👍🏽

[@TrailPass]

Thanks, more FJ content on the way!

[@allenhoelscher5930]

Thanks for the great advice.

[@wisperone11]

Do you have to add any adhesive under the trim? It looked like there was some on the old.

[@alandust2188]

Thanks!

[@anavan7]

By the way what marker lights are those on your roof top? Please give link!

[@UncleFjester]

FYI... those mirrors are a large contributor to the noise

[@TrailPass]

Thanks! I figured these aren't three quietest vehicles but I definitely have a problem with the windshield trim as well.

[@TexaSteven]

Thanks for posting this, I’ve was just noticing mine trim on my 2011 FJ needs to be replaced as well. I’m ordering this kit now. But I like you’re FJ much better... does yours have the Crawl Control? I’m thinking that option is only for certain models in 2013-2014?

[@TrailPass]

Thanks, what color/options are on your FJ? You're correct, the 2013 and 2014 FJs are the only ones with crawl control (and the price on those are crazy). I just have A-Trac and a locker.

[@TexaSteven]

Bandit Off-road mine is Brick Red and I just added some KC LED Daylighters to the factory bumper this past weekend, was nervous drilling through the bumper but they look pretty good. And while I was installing it I noticed that behind the lower grill the previous owner had a RV mount attached so I’m guessing my 71,500 miles might not actually be that but lower due to whomever towing it places. Not much other options than a standard FJ. Next mod is going to be the Uptop Overland Rooftop Rack which I’m told is going to be released in March. I think the factory roof rack looks great but it’s pretty useless to do any serious storage or tent options with it because of the static load, think that’s the right term.

[@TrailPass]

@@TexaSteven sweet, I'd love to see a picture of that!

[@TexaSteven]

Bandit Off-road I’ll have to send you a picture on the Gram, what’s you handle? I’m @texasteven In the FJ, my first favorite mod was turning off the DRL, having on all them time was annoying but it took me literally 3-5 mins to disconnect with out and cutting or screw drivers. I’ll try to add a couple in the morning

[@cdf8821]

@@TexaSteven I know this is 3yrs old...just wondering how you turned off the DRL? (and) thanks for the info on the KC LED lights couldn't figure out what those were called.

[@RoshanPatel1441]

I HAVE THE SAME 2011 TOYOTA FJ CRUISER ARMY GREEN I have A manual transmission 6 speed A-Track 🕉️👍😁

[@tat3r666]

Funny I got rid of my Tacoma to get a FJ also.

[@vins1521]

By the way, will they be bringing out the FJ cruiser again?

[@TrailPass]

Thanks for the heads up! Still waiting to see what happens. Looks like the next vehicle to make a return is actually the Venza, but there are more "new" vehicles coming. What would you like to see in the future?

[@vins1521]

I’d love to see a Hybrid FJ or Tacoma.

[@hybridirongolfer8584]

part number?

[@locksbog4270]

👍😃✌️

I wish I had watched your video before I broke the clips on BOTH end of the driver’s door weatherstrip. The clips on the new weatherstrip (original Toyota part) are just as brittle as the clips on the old weather stripping. I have a large quantity and styles of plastic fasteners for plastic and rubber parts for several different makes of cars.WARNING - if your are stupid like me and break the clips on the new molding, don’t bother trying to make another type of clip work. For that matter, even if you found the same clip Toyota uses, it wouldn’t do you any good. It seems that the clips on both ends of the weather strip were installed from the inside out. There is no way to put another clip, of any type, into the rubber “pocket” that holds this clip in place. There are little “feet” that you can’t see about 1/8” long that extend 90 degrees into the sides of the rubber pocket and hold the clip in place. One good thing, Rock Auto sells the genuine Toyota part for $45 for the entire set of 4 with a minimal shipping charge if I have to buy another set. I’m going to try to use weatherstripping adhesive on the end where the clips were until I broke them off. I must have the IQ of a walnut because this is about the 10,000th time I read the instructions AFTER I attempted the job. My favorite story: a guy is pulled over on the side of a busy street in the city. The engine was making a weird noise so he stopped to see what it was. He was looking under the hood when heard a voice say “Are your having trouble with your car young man?” I looked over and saw this little old lady holding an umbrella; of course in addition to my car breaking down, it was also starting to rain. She walked over to share her umbrella and before I could thank her she said “Well, this is your lucky day”. I was wet and frustrated at this point and I felt like making a sarcastic remark but instead I said “Why is it my luck day”. She pointed to a building across the street and said there is a national conference of auto mechanics going on over there right now. I said “Thank you” By now it was pouring rain, I was soaking wet, frustrated and had no idea what was wrong with my car. How many of you would be stubborn enough to keep trying to fix the car yourself instead of walking across the street and ask for help? Two hours later the same little old lady came by again. This time she walked up to me, with my head still under the hood of the car. She had a screwdriver in her hand and said “Move aside sonny”. As I stepped aside she walked up to the car, adjusted some gizmo on the engine and said “Ok. It will run now”. As I got in my car, and turned the key it started right up. As I looked out the window, I could see the old lady waving goodbye to a group of mechanics standing out side the building across the street.

Great Story!!
