I had been putting this task off for about 3 months, and finally broke down being tired of not being able to load stuff in the back. What should have taken 30 mins or less wound up taking 45 to a hour because I couldn't find a T-27 Torx bit to take my license plate off. It had nothing to do with the instructions which worked like a charm. Kicking myself for sitting on the brand new part, and not installing it sooner. Great job!
This is the best video on how to do this. Thank you. Only thing is all you need is a 10 mm for socket. Roll rear window down an inch or two so that you can slide window assembly down a few inches to get to the two 10 mm nuts. Great video.
I have watched lots of videos and truth be told this is about the best that I have seen on TH-cam,what he/she did that others did not do is that he/she focuses and zooms on the particular area that he is working on so it allows for a better understanding of what is been repaired.Thanks for the wonderful job and like somebody said there is no talking which of course causes distraction and if at all there is the need to talk,I think it should be minimal.
Extremely helpful video. Fixed my hatch and saved hundreds of dollar because of it. I was actually able to squeeze my hands behind the power window assembly so I didn't have to take it off. Really appreciate the vid.
Great Video! i watched about 1/2 dozen and yours is the best method. For you guys trying to do this yourself, follow this video and you'll have an easy time of it. one tip - before you start, drop the rear window about an inch. you need a philips screw driver and 10MM socket.
I just wanted to give you a HUGE THANK YOU for taking the time to record this and post this excellent video. It was a nice little repair and didn't take long to do, about an 1 1/2 hrs. I had difficulty with getting the panels back on as a few of the plastic fasteners were broken after removing. This may help some in the future, pick up a bag of these. I will replace the fasteners when I replace the rear window motor to our 2003 Sequoia.
This video saved me around $200! I was able to replace the latch myself and I'm a woman who has never worked on a car and drank two margaritas while doing this! I was able to follow the steps but I got pretty messed up trying to reverse the steps. Maybe a series of reverse photos at the end would help. And I'm sure less margaritas would have helped. In then end, I did it! Thank you so much!
+Valerie Wiens Awesome Valerie!! Maybe next time have only 1 margarita. LOL Couple years ago, I drank a 6 pack of beer while I was working on my truck and placed the fuel filter in the wrong direction. LOL Never again drinking while wrenching. lol Now you could use some of that $200 to buy more tools. I'm happy for you because you did it and you are a woman. Have a nice day and please subscribe. “Whether you think you can, or you think you can't--you're right.”--HENRY FORD
Just replaced mine today and this was the clearest video for me to follow. ¡THANK YOU! - I bent an aluminum tent stake into shape to make the tool to trigger the latch from outside. Cost me nothing, took about 2 minutes, and worked perfectly.
Thank you! I would not have done this as error-free or as quickly without your help. The lowering of the rear window assembly was simple and key, and you saved the clips that secure the plate-holder by showing that step too! Thanks again man!
Hey anyone out there looking to do this fix, make sure the latch you bought works well. The one I bought doesn't have enough flex to pull the cable, so still cannot open properly. My new latch's mechanism is not made to "exact" specs, so it's best to buy the more expensive one, other wise it's back to trying to jury rigging!! But for sure Angel has the best instruction!!
Hey man thank you very much I have a 2003 Toyota Sequoia and I have the same problem thanks for putting a video up so we could do it ourselves I can't thank you enough👍👍👍👍
Thanks dude. Awesome video. I've been looking at videos for the last year and putting off replacing my back latch on my 2009 sequoia and I have to say with all honesty even though you didn't speak through your video this is the best I've scene on how to do this project. took me about an hour copying your every move. Easy as pie bro. Thanks for the video you made my weekend and the Sequoia is not fixed :)
Clifton Morris Welcome!! Awesome you did it. It's all visual instructions. What you see is what you do. SIMPLE. Though there are some people that do not understand the video. How sad for impatient and slow learners. But thank you for the comment. Now go buy more tools with the money you saved. lol Please subscribe and have a nice day.
This video was very well done. It is the best one out there that I have seen. One tip that might make the job even easier would be to lower the rear window an inch before you start. I had some difficulty getting the rear window mechanism removed and remounted because I started the job with the window all the way up. This made a very tight fit with the mounting holes and required a little sweat to get the threaded bolts to drop through the holes. Other than that everything worked just the way it was shown in the video.
Thank you for the excellent tutorial my friend! With your help I did this job in under an hour by myself. You answered all the mysteries before I even got started.
One of the most usable how-to videos I've seen. Seems to have been made with a newbie's needs in mind. No useless talking, thorough, paced well, and provides some frames to help keep you oriented.
The superduper video on how to fix the stupid plastic hatch handle. The best out there on the Internet. Thank you so much for producing and posting this video. You saved me at least $400 today. Thank you!!
Thanks for the great video. While I was at it replacing the broken latch handle, I also removed the brake for the window that was preventing rear window from moving, the defroster was not working, and the rear window wiper blade was not working. removing the brake fixed all those issues and saved well over $1000 if I took it to repair shop.
Thanks for posting this. This will be my 2nd plastic handle replacement (2003 Sequoia) first time I wish I had watched this video first..muddled through on my own instincts, took hours, this will help. Anyone try a metal cheaper handle? I hate to pay Toyota $100 for another crappy plastic one. Thanks again. I'll subscribe.
video really helped me replace the broken door handle on my 2004 sequoia all by myself ... of course with the help of your great video as a guide. thanks so much for posting! god bless and keep up the good work!
Thanks for posting this video. I was able to replace my latch handle with minimal effort. For other viewers attempting to do this, please first verify the handle is in fact broken. It will be loose. If it is still taught, you may just need to lubricate the latch (at the bottom of the door). The black cover snaps off easily. Also, if you go through with this, be VERY careful removing the panel that holds your license plate as you can break the tabs off. Additionally, when reassembling, make sure the keyed lock is sandwiched between this panel and the door panel. You can see in the video how it is positioned before you take it apart.
hear you speaking bisaya! I have a question mego. last winter, I use the 4wd of my 03 seqouia, after turning off, its so many hours before center flashing was off. after that the operation (on and off) was working fine. This morning there was a light snow so I switch to 4wd but when I turn it off the center light keeps blinking. Hopefully just like the last it will be fine. my concern is, If I continue to drive my seqouia with the blinking light on, will it distroy my tranny. Your info will greatly appreciated Mego. Thanks Clem
Ok, I'm Female but finally have time to learn how to do these things for myself. Well TH-cam makes it all possible and video makers make it easy. I reviewed about 5 of these and found this the best. Every step was shown, no blah blah to listen to, just plain here's how to get it done. My Mexican friends would joke to me and say: yeah the Mexican version was the best! And it was! Thanks...
+A Venture Thank you for the comment. I try to make the video as easy to follow. I really hate to do commentary and video in the same time, it is very difficult to do and plus it's kind of waste of time for me and the viewer. My videos are, "what you see, is what you do. An easy to follow video, right? Please share and subscribe. Thank you.
Great video! Worked great for me. This wsn't easiy, but you made it much easier. Plus, the tip to drop the rear window a bit before you start really helped me.
Thank you worked like a charm. Only problem I encountered is with the gold thing that lifts/lowers the window that has 4 screws. If your window is all the way up it's practically impossible to get that thing loose because the pressure the window puts on it. I lowered my window 1 inch and it wiggled free easily.
Thanks bro!!! Just got it done in the dark, so easy following along! However, I'll have to redo it again since I didn't align the key bolt into the hole, noticed it AFTER I finished :/ If anybody buys the Autocraft 79600CD metal latch (cheap on ebay), it doesn't feel the same as OEM but hopefully it'll last longer?! Dealer charges $104 for the original plastic part, forget that!
I followed the instructions and replaced the door latch, and it worked great for a few days. Now, the latch won't work again. But it isn't disconnected/broken like before, it is like the trunk is locked and cannot be unlocked. Did I miss something about how to connect the latch to the locking mechanism?
I am having the same issue plus sometimes it will not lock the hatch at all. My concern is if bgg it's because of the door handle or the door lock/ unlock actuator. If it's the door handle that is broken, the door should not be able to open at all, since it's broken like in the video. I am leaning more toward my actuator being bad to where it does not unlock my cars at sometkmes and I end up pulling the handle but nothing happens. But if I forget it for a day or two, it'll work again. Then there are times when I can't lock my hatch at all. But again, if I wait a day or two, everything will be fine again. I will just have to open it up and see if the handle is still intact if it is, then I move onto the actuator.
Any idea of the exact type/size of plastic rivets required to re-assemble the interior trim panels? Seems like they get worn beyond functionality after one removal of the trim. The panels won't stay on properly. Thank you.
+Beelze Bub You can bring one of the damaged plastic clips to a parts store and they will tell you what to purchase. Welcome. Please share and subscribe.
Instead of messing with the window actuator, simply pop off the lower two (of three) rubber plugs at the top-center of the lift gate. With a 6" extension, you'll have direct and easy access to the latch's nuts. If done with the lift gate open/up, the nuts will stay resting in the socket. If not, they'll fall into the lift gate--but they're quite easy to fish out.
Great video! Just a quick and simple question; where did you bought the parts from? I read some of the reviews and people talk about some plastics parts? And from your comments, you say to sarta away. Which parts or where did you got them from? Maybe post links if it’s possible? Thank you in advance!
Need your help. My handle is fine but the problem is either the cable or the latch. I am trying to get to the latch however I am stuck at 3:48. After removing the 4 nuts I can't push the window regulator to the back. Is there any trick? Should I roll the rear windows all the way down? How do I prevent the glass from dropping? Thanks.
+Fix It Angel, Did you mean at the Back Door Lock which is on the other end of the cable? Okay I'll do that. I decided to attach a secondary cable as an emergency release on the inside as additional modification so far that's the only option I'm using to unlock it not from the outside. But thanks for the suggestions.
Yes, Hope it works. It is pretty hard to bend. I did it on one vehicle and it worked. Thats good you attached a secondary cable. Welcome. Please share and subscribe.
I need to ask a question i have a 2001 sequoia my problem is sumbody broke the lock where u turn it so the window goes down then i can open it theres eletrical plug to the lock its all broken can u help me please
Thank u i found a guy with the same truck 2001 but crashed the whole truck for $750 all i need is that part n electricil seat motors but um gona open dat damn door tomorrow by watching u
best method by far , thanks for sharing . just waiting for mine to come in the mail. whats the name of that tool that twist , that you used , kind of looks like a screwdriver?
I don't think that's what I was speaking about, it's the tool that you used to release the hatch. Kind of looks like an ice-pick, with a twist at the end.
I thought it was like an oil seal puller or something special. It looks like it has a twist on the end like in a helix/swirl shape. Appreciate you responding, I am going to have to tackle this soon. I think I can put new rubber isolators on my Mustang with that pick too. Sweet!
You can buy picks at just about any auto parts places. Sears sells them for sure. It just looks special because of the camera angle. I also have an upholstery puller as well for pulling out those plastic retainers.
do you have anything on how to change the motor that control the rear window? Mine won't go down either by pushing the button or using the key in the rear door? Its a 2005. help
You don't have to remove the power window assembly, there are holes drilled specifically so you can get a long socket extension through the gate to the 10mm nuts that hold the handle in.
I just went to Toyota for an estimate to fix my rear latch handle. Toyota wants $408 total. $203 is labor, $136 is for latch, $99 for handle. What do you think?
I followed your video. I got to the wire that look like bike brake wire. I push and pull on it like you did. but the door did not open... what did I do wrong?
I like the no talking style. Pretty cool idea. Very efficient and it keeps you focused on the video. Thanks
steamboatdad Thank you for the comment. I really appreciate it. Have a nice day and please subscribe.
Uh oh! The new latch is in, but the door isn't opening. Could the cable be stretched?
you might need to bend that little metal thing that you snap the cable on. it has too much play/space
Thank you! I completed my tailgate repair and with the help of your video it was pretty simple. Thanks again.

2003 Toyota Sequoia does not drop back window how to know if the engine or else the glass that door need your help thanks
+Andy Lopez sorry I do not understand your problem
had the same problem when I solved the most under glass above does not mind if the glass down
how do you reduce the slack of the cable? It looks like after I install the new handle the cable has extra slack it won't unlatch the back door.
+Hernan Espiritu at the lock mechanism, where the cable snaps onto, you need to bend that metal to remedy the extra slack.
+Fix It Angel, Did you mean at the Back Door Lock which is on the other end of the cable? Okay I'll do that. I decided to attach a secondary cable as an emergency release on the inside as additional modification so far that's the only option I'm using to unlock it not from the outside. But thanks for the suggestions.

Welcome, Please tell me the time on the video I used that tool. Thank you.

Oh that tools is to remove plastic clips. I don't know the real name of it, sorry.
I don't think that's what I was speaking about, it's the tool that you used to release the hatch. Kind of looks like an ice-pick, with a twist at the end.
oh sorry, it's actually a pick that is curved. you can find it in amazon or ebay.
This was good!
Do I need the window rolled down or up
Roll up the window
I have 2013 Rav4 and have rear door problem, sometimes it work fine but sometimes it get stuck
@00:59 What is the name of that tool you are using? It seems like you need that tool to open the hatch when the latch breaks.
90° pick
I thought it was like an oil seal puller or something special. It looks like it has a twist on the end like in a helix/swirl shape. Appreciate you responding, I am going to have to tackle this soon. I think I can put new rubber isolators on my Mustang with that pick too. Sweet!
lucidbarrier I like the tool too! Need to make one. Thanks
You can buy picks at just about any auto parts places. Sears sells them for sure. It just looks special because of the camera angle. I also have an upholstery puller as well for pulling out those plastic retainers.
I bent an aluminum tent stake into that shape with no problem. Worked like a charm.
do you have anything on how to change the motor that control the rear window? Mine won't go down either by pushing the button or using the key in the rear door? Its a 2005. help
Hello, the problem could be the control module for it. At 2:07 on the video, that black box. I have replace dozens. Hope this helps. Please subscribe
how to get glass motor from back window?
rdmott I do not understand your question.
where did you get that plate cover that's dope
Salamat Bai! :)
Ayos migoy, asa ka nikuha ug replacement part? Salamat
You don't have to remove the power window assembly, there are holes drilled specifically so you can get a long socket extension through the gate to the 10mm nuts that hold the handle in.
ok thank you for the comment.
It's good then I got it done without going through those holes. There is always another way. Thank you for the comment.
can you help me with the name of the parts.
We're having trouble getting the window motor put back in place. It won't go back up enough to get the bolts back in place. Has anyone ran into that?
Never mind, found the comments on down about lowering the window. That helped. Thanks!!
You Rock !! Thank you. Off to do mine now.
Welcome!! Please subscribe.
What failed in the old handle

where did you get that twirl screw driver? thanks
You can buy it from pepboys or any other parts store.
I believe they now have a metal replacement
James California that’s good. It’s about time.
I just went to Toyota for an estimate to fix my rear latch handle. Toyota wants $408 total. $203 is labor, $136 is for latch, $99 for handle. What do you think?
GOOD BLESS leave now
I followed your video. I got to the wire that look like bike brake wire. I push and pull on it like you did. but the door did not open... what did I do wrong?
3:58 see those black rubber pieces? Take those out and you won't have to remove the window regulator.
oh ok. next time. thank you. well, i still got the repair done, right?
