Anyone removed the quarter glass windows in their 40/45 series doors and replaced them with the single glass windows.
I can get some single pane regulators from Aussi but not sure if they can be fitted to my doors.
Did toyota make a single pattern door with multiple fitting for all the window options?
I like the idea of using the single pane in my chopped 79 fj45 ute (tidys up that area of the build a little - less cluttered) and see doors without the quarter glass but not sure if they are a specific year onwards or just depends on what was ordered from the factory. Not worried about getting glass made for the window as I would have to anyway one way or another.
Ive got 2 pairs of doors to play with (or swap a pair for a pair without the quarter glass) so might attack the worst condition one and see what's inside...

Re: Removing 1/4 windows from 40/45 series doors
Not sure about years for the difference. I had heard that the doors with full glass were originally for the US market.
As far as I could tell when I was looking around for bits when I had a 40, the full glass was rare in NZ.
Also fairly sure that the full glass was only on late 1980 onwards...
Stand to be corrected though.

LOL
Story of my life...
It's a while before I need to worry about the doors (few months maybe) so I'll keep looking I guess.
