Thanks very much @kedrevs4037 ! This is the definitive TH-cam video on Tundra door check removal /replacement. The repair on my '14 Platinum went smoothly (Amazon part). A couple of additional observations, hints: 1) check to see that it just isn't the door check bolt that is loose - on my passenger side this was the case, and a simple crank of the bolt got rid of the "tick" (but my driver side was surely broken) 2) be gentle with wiring harness connections as they can be brittle and hard to detach on older trucks; 3) when tightening the door check bolt that goes into the body, make sure the "stem" stays horizontal - while torquing mine down, it wanted to rotate and bow upwards. Again, thanks for taking the time to post the video. I thought I was entering the wrong truck after this was fixed, it was so quiet.
This was fantastic! Typically, I watch these videos and it takes me a couple hours and something goes wrong. Literally followed every step and this worked perfectly!
Thank you for the clear, concise video. You just helped me replace this part on my 2012 Tundra. Feels like a miracle to have a silently opening driver side door.
I have the same issue on my 2014 Tundra. Toyota had %25 off and free ship for bfriday. If full price I would have gone 3rd party but prices were alot closer on sale. I just attempted to replace mine and like you said the bolt took some force to come out. Mine had blue Loctite in it. My problem is I went to put the bolt back in and it won't go. Don't see how since I just pulled it out. Considering running a tap/die to clean up the threads. They do still have some blue in them but I figured that would just give a tighter fit. Happy you didn't have the same issue. Would welcome hearing from anyone else that did.
Good luck with it. I replaced one on my 2012 a few years ago and a gust of wind broke it as well. Now I'm back to watching videos to remember how to do it. It was china made too. Proudly I'm sure ...
Word of warning to be very careful with the connector for the lock. The door handle connector is pretty solid but the little arm that holds the cable in for the door locks is really flimsy
Sorry man, try not to make it to long. I just pop them off with leverage from my fingers. There is a little groove toward the front of the controls where you can place a little plastic pry tool and it will come right off.
@@kedrevs4037 When I pulled it out like you did, it was easy, so it did help! I was taking the entire panel off for sound deadening. Thanks for the video.

Sorry to hear so many issues with your Tundra lately - I have a 2021 Pro and I follow your videos/updates so please keep us posted…
Appreciate the feedback

That stinks, didn't have that issue, but Hope you get a good answer.

Still holding strong

Good to see if I have same issue on my 2018.
DANG!!! My 2018 is popping!!! Started about 2 weeks, thanks for video, will follow it during the Christmas Break...
I just got a 2016, and it has the same issue, and yes, it is very annoying lol. Now i know how to fix it ..
How do you fix the car and lock indicator after the repair? My car and lock indicator keeps flashing
Hmmm, never became an issue for me. Just put the two cables back where they came from.
@@kedrevs4037 it finally stopped flashing on its own
I came to see how to release the window controls, its the only part you skipped!
