Rare spares sell aftermarket ones as well as a dude on ebay who always has 'em. Just try really hard to get original old toyota stock because I and many others have used aftermarket ones and they are slightly thicker than the originals. This means that the chrome trim tends to pop out a bit at the corners. Takes alot to get it right though.(Using tape, glue to hold it in place for a few weeks, as well as a slight beating in the beginning. It is possible to get a really good fit with aftermarket rubbers if you can get your hands on more windscreen clips. The more you get the better it'll sit! Expect to pay about 115-140 for after market. 180-240 original. Hope this infor helps.

i did a front and rear windscreen in the US (in a 2X celica), using genuine rubbers... the rear window is a BITCH, but the front was not too bad (using the 4 pieces of rope trick).. make sure the rope is of good diameter (4-5mm??) and is not synthetic (it needs to grip onto the rubber to pull it)..
if yu have done an old style windscreen before, it's the same...
you need two peopl minimum.. one to put even force on the windscren, and one to pull the ropes....
or get windscreens obrien to fit it for you and watch how he does it

what oldcorollas said... personally i wouldnt do it cause they are a bitch to put it. the front isnt that easy either, especially at the bottom of the windscreen (where the dash is) cause you dont have that much room in that crevis.
also i would get them to do it! if they stuff it up, then they replace it, cause they guarantee fitting but never removal. also with a lfe time guarantee for no leaks you really cant go wrong providing you always keep the receipt...
cheers

can you buy a rubber and then get obrians to fit it with that?
also how hard is it to fit the chrome trims? is this done as part of the windscreen fitting?

I have the rubber for the front and rear windscreens, went to O'Briens yesterday and they quoted me $190 to supply and fit front windscreen using the rubber I have. They also quoted me $110 to remove a rear windsreen from another celica and place it in mine using the rubber I already have as well.
