Thanks, just replaced ours on a 2007. Same Amazon part. Original was disintegrating. Used pliers to work off the old one. Also cleaned up ring and waxed the area since it was exposed.

helpful vid, thanks! Need to replace mind and wondered if it was more complicated than just pulling the old one out.
@LiL13izzy72 жыл бұрын
It's not complicated as you saw. Hardest part was needing pliers to get the rubber off below the surface, as that part was still fairly tight.

good stuff another great video. I have seen this is a part that will need replacing eventually. Thanks for sharing. Being able to see the in's and out's of the FJ is very helpful. The wife and I are still saving for one but it is a definite next on our list of purchases. I have always liked the FJ and its throwback design to the original SUV's. With all the nannies that are sold on vehicles in the last few years, the FJ falls into the category, of having just the right amount of tech, without too much.

hey brother, i'm having the same issues with my 2011 and i have all the same worn out pieces. been watching your videos as a guide when i come to replace or upgrade. one thing i am having trouble is finding a video on how to replace the seal on the bottom of the front windshield. it's worn like my antenna, cracks and crumbling apart. have you done a video on this?? appreciate any help, thanks.

Hey, thanks for watching. I have not had to fix the windshield seal, but I found a few videos on KZfaq that might be helpful: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/oZ1nhtqnubHDemQ.html kzfaq.info/get/bejne/gdacdsSottyqpac.html

Good step by step ! Question on the base, under the part you replaced ? I’ll call it the base, …which on mine is lose from the antenna tip, bumping a little each time I go in/out of the garage. I want to tighten it but don’t see on your video any kind of hex nut (or something) to tighten down that base. Did you see anything, or you think I’d have to go up from below, inside the fender somehow ? Thanks !!
@LiL13izzy72 жыл бұрын
I didn't pay attention to that part, but it sounds like you will need to remove the cowl piece to access that. Cowl clips are notorious for breaking. Look up FJ Cruiser windshield replacement on the Forums and you'll see that replacing clips is a necessity whenever removing that piece. Good luck!
