The GoPro Mount Shift and TSS-P Hardware
Between 2016 and 2017, Toyota bonded an action-camera mounting block right onto the glass next to the rearview mirror. If you own an early truck from this run, matching the glass means verifying whether you want that factory GoPro bracket (NAGS FW04108) or a smooth pane without it (NAGS FW04299). Toyota dropped that novelty for the 2018 update, replacing it with the standard Toyota Safety Sense P (TSS-P) monocular forward-facing camera bracket permanently attached inside the upper black frit band (NAGS FW04753, matching Toyota 56101-04080 and updated revisions 56101-04081 and 56101-04082).
Every factory windshield across these model years incorporates acoustic interlayer glass, signified by an ear icon stamped into the lower corner bug, accompanied by a solar green tint. What you will not find on any trim level—from an SR work truck up to a TRD Pro or Limited—is an automatic rain sensor, a heated wiper de-icer grid, or a heads-up display. Glass replacement remains centered entirely on the upper bracket configuration: either the early camera mount or the later active safety bracket.
A-Pillar Whistles and Exterior Trim Details
Air leaks and high-pitched whistling are persistent complaints on these trucks after a replacement, almost always tracing back to the side reveal mouldings rather than the urethane seal itself. The left (75534-04010) and right (75533-04010) plastic mouldings run the full height of the cab pillars. They must clip down flush against the steel pillars and the glass edge; if the strip lifts even a millimeter into the slipstream, it sings at highway speeds. The base of the glass interfaces with a split two-piece plastic cowl louver that shields the cabin filter intake and the wiper transmission driving the 22-inch driver and 20-inch passenger blades.
I operate entirely as a mobile service, bringing the replacement glass directly to your driveway or workplace parking space anywhere across Toronto and the GTA. Handling the job on-site gives me the time needed to seat those side mouldings and the upper weatherstrip completely flat so you do not deal with cabin whistles on the highway.
| Model Years | NAGS Part Number | Factory Windshield Features |
|---|---|---|
| 2016–2017 | FW04108 | Acoustic glass, solar tint, factory GoPro bracket |
| 2016–2017 | FW04299 | Acoustic glass, solar tint, standard mirror base (no camera bracket) |
| 2018–2023 | FW04753 | Acoustic glass, solar tint, TSS-P forward-facing camera bracket |
Why does my new windshield lack the GoPro mount?
If your truck is a 2016 or 2017, glass was produced both with and without that bracket. Unless you specifically request FW04108 to keep the action-camera clip, installers frequently order FW04299, which provides a clean pane around the rearview mirror. Starting in 2018, Toyota discontinued the mount entirely in favor of the safety camera housing.
Do I lose acoustic dampening with an aftermarket windshield?
No. Quality aftermarket windshields built to NAGS standards for this platform maintain the acoustic vinyl interlayer embedded between the outer and inner glass plies. It matches the factory noise attenuation, keeping tire and engine sound from penetrating the cab.
Can I reuse my existing side A-pillar mouldings?
The rubberized side trim strips can be reused if the retaining tabs and rubber lips remain intact, pliable, and undamaged. However, if the clips snap during extraction or the outer edge has warped from sun exposure, the moulding will not lie flush against the A-pillar, creating an air channel that causes wind noise at speed.
