Thank you😂 work smoothly like as new again 🎉

Not the wife 😂😂😂😂

no more problems?? Put a drop of urethane sealant on the CABLE HOUSING TIP where it contacts the bracket. I used a drop of Shoe Goo. DO NOT get any on the cable itself.

Thank you, brother. I owe you one. Thanks to this great video, I was able to fix both sliding doors on my elderly parent's van. They are thrilled. Take care.

Hmmm,

I did exactly what you did (workaround solution) yesterday on the driver side sliding door! To prevent it from popping out later on, I got a small plastic twist tie from store-bought bread and tied the cable around the slot so that it is fastened and won't ever pop out. Glad this solution worked 8 years ago and still works today. I've also replaced the door handle on the sliding door passenger side. Odometer at 270,000 kms or 160,000 mls

I have the same problem iam,going try that same year

I have an '02 Sienna. Every door handle on it is broken.

Similar EZ fix: Had the same problem the last few months with my 2002 to Siena. It would open, but it took 2 or 3 pulls on the handle to do so. So I looked online and found this video, which was very helpful. Getting the door panel off is a breeze. You just have to pry the cupholder out from the clips, Undo the one Phillips head screw that is in the wall of the cupholder, then gently pull the panel away from the door frame In carefully peel back the vapour barrier. At 1st I experimented with moving the black plastic end of the cable sheath as suggested here, but I wasn't comfortable with that. I don't know what they call the yellow part on the end of the cable that slides up in that channel of the latching mechanism, but for me moving that black plastic to the top of its bracket pulled that yellow piece too far up the channel it travels in so that it was tight against the end of the channel to the point of starting to move the latching mechanism, if only slightly. Did that I or will that bother anything? I don't know, bit probably not. I just wasn't comfortable with it and I wasn't comfortable with the cable being out of its bracket. So what I did was i filled in the top of the channel so the yellow piece had less distance to travel. I got a couple of plastic zip ties and I put them through the top of the channel between the yellow piece and the end of the channel. They were smalle enough so that they were not butting right up against the yellow piece, but large enough so that the yellow piece had less distance to travel as it moved up the channel. As the zip ties were between the yellow piece and the end of the channel, the yellow piece would compress against the zip ties causing the latching mechanism to lift. After that I just trimmed the excess off the Zip ties, right to their little catch housing, and put everything back together. The explaining is far more complicated than the doing 😄 Oh, I got the idea of using zip ties to fill in the channel from other people mentioning using zip ties to hold the cable in place.

Did u Figure it out mines doing the same thing

So how long did it last? Did the cable ever dislodge from its improvised position? I have the same problem with my 2002. Figured it was a stretched cable.

Great video

Fixed my problem. The Toyota door handles are notorious, but still better than replacing a Honda transmission. Thanks for the video!

nice video shootingstar1015, nice temporary fix.....question have you had any water leak behind the passengers seat by the sliding door?

Spooky

Life saver 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼

This problem occurs when the bracket on the handle side is broken. A new replacement handle (available on Amazon) will take the slack out of the cable. Compare this handle with the functioning one on the opposite side of the vehicle.

Thank you this was exactly what I needed

Thank you for posting, I was able to fix my door problem from watching your video.

Thanks so much. I fixed my problem and you saved some money, God bless you.

Simply pull on the middle of the cable in question to pull out some slack. Then zip tie it to the other two cables to keep it from slacking back. That fixed mine.

اللهم بارك في الشيخ وصوته الجميل ماشاء الله

So good

This is not just happening for newer models, because I own a 1999 and almost all of my latches are broken off to include the outside back latch and both inside front door latches. I also have to replace the outside latch on the door you fixed and I am also having the same trouble on both of my sliding doors that you’re having. Very disappointed also.

The other thing you could do to tighten the cable is add a zip tie or wire to the hole where it catches on to,that way the cable would hit the wire first and pull it immediately

Thanks man. Worked great. Inside works now. And outside also. Unbelievable. Very cool. I used a small zip tie to keep the outside wire in place so that it will never slip off. Thanks again

How shiny the paint! Mine is all ashy. But I love its engine.

Mine does same thing what was the fix?

Perfect! Thanks. Fixed my door immediately!

The teacher has a beautiful voice mashallah!! Has he anymore videos of his recitations?

I have a 2002... and ALL of my handles have broken at one point or another. I have replaced (myself) two of them and now going to do the driver side .. since I cant get in.. but I have the sticky door problem, and so going to try this.. worth the try.

Great tips. Thanks for posting. This should solve my problem.

all the handles are shit! I have a 2001 and have replaced them all ,great can though!

Thank You. After years of my passenger side sliding door sticking, I moved it a notch and presto, door sticking from the inside is GONE!.

Agree, interior component quality SUCK, 88% are US made components that are made cheaply.. Disappointing.. see 30+ year old Toyotas still on the road with the original cigarette light still working yet alone the door handles still functioning, only thing you can really rely on is the driveline these days... SAD #toyota

Hi, my 2001 toyota has just over 210000 miles. the sliding door has been sticking literally for YEARS. Now if it opens twice a year its a lot. i'm going out now to try your method. Right now i only get the click that its open and barely moves. If this works it will seem like a whole new vehicle!!!! Keeping my, fingers, toes, eyes, etc crossed!!!! (i watched a different video on how to change the rear hatch - WOOHOO I accomplished that task yesterday with ease and it now works!)

Thanks. works great your instructions.

wow, thank you, I have exact same troubles.. thank you, I will do the same ways, thnkyou
