OE glass comes with the cowl panel retainer on it. You will need the top moulding which is a painted piece. It has clips and is also urethaned to the glass every 6-8 inches. It could be possible to save the top but I would definately have one on hand.The sides are reverse filler strips that I would reccomend getting as well. The installation is fairly easy. I would suggest taping off the hood and A pillars to prevent scratching paint while removing the cowl.We have done two this month without any problems.

it's not necessary to replace the top painted panel. use a bone, gently pry it up on the roof side, then use a long handled blade to cut the urethane. then the panel pops right off. we easily saved and reused it.

Why would toyota make something so stupid? I guess because they do not care, it just winds the customer up when we as shops have to order thigns, its bad enuff on the explorers having to order a piece then have it painted, just more inconvience to the customer, who in turns complains to there agent which he complains to corporate and the next thing you know we are the bad guys..

Like i told somone the other day "I don't design them I just replace them"

Just like the worthless lexus mirror, who is the idiot at toyota desiging this junk?

Haven't had to tackle the FJ Cruiser yet, but amen on the Lexus mirror!
