How to fix crooked falling tailgate window on 3rd Gen 4Runner 1996-2002

[@Not_That_Chris]

Finally! I’ve had this problem for like a year and a half and I opened up the panels and saw the rust. I ignored it because I couldn’t find anyone else with this problem and didn’t want to mess up my window more than it was. Now I finally feel like I can fix it

Thanks man for the video my rear window for the tailgate was stuck, this video helps a lot.

[@elkofcanada5003]

Thanks for the video! Slammed the runner off a ledge offroad and the window arms broke on both sides LOL. Removed the arms and going to fix it tomorrow!

[@jordaneigen7017]

Good video man, just came across the same problem today

[@wyattg2186]

Hope you got it fixed.

Thanks for the tutorial, it's snowing here in NC and my 3rd gen rear window is stuck halfway from closing all the way. Just gotta find a 10mm 😆

[@wyattg2186]

Lift the tailgate and get someone to press the switch while you push the window back up by hand. That's what I did in the winter until it got warm enough to fix it. Good luck on the 10mm hunt

Excellent video. Thand you! I appreciate your intuitive mechanical skills. I have a first generation Sequoia with rusted rear window guide tracks. Mine are rusted through, so well beyond saving. The mechanism looks very similar. Possibly the same part numbers? In any case, this is a helpful tutorial as I approach replacing the rotted out parts in my tailgate.

Please any idea how to remove and replace the main glass frame holder of rear window of my 07 4Runner , it got rusted and broke, causing the window to fall

[@Moparkatt]

Thanks so much. Just got a 3rd gen with broken nuts on rear window.

Thank you for the video, my window don’t go down so I have to open and see what’s going on.

[@fabianpalacio7586]

Bruh you be helping people save money man. You sure are helping me, appreciate it!!

[@vbnautical5041]

Hope you can help me. The plastic pieces that are fixed to the bottom edge of the window (where the bolts attach) were dried out and cracked. Can I replace these parts?

[@CrabberPA]

Great video! I’m having the same exact issue and will be trying to fix my window soon! Thanks!

[@robertgadaleta8611]

what if the plastic piece that is attached to the actual glass bottom edge has broken? Is that replaceable?

[@ekelenwabuisi4276]

2007 4 Runner rear window falling. Glass holder rusted.

[@joshuag2254]

my tundras window got crooked and it fell? what do i do now? It doesn’t go up or down.

[@TRyan3]

Turning your key in the rear and holding it moves the window up/down too.

[@heindrickmsylvain1325]

Moi aussi j'ai ce problème merci beaucoup

[@danmekeel7758]

Great Demonstration!!

[@1malikalik]

I bet that bench vice came from Harbor Freight......just kidding. I live it tho. Got a similar O'timer like that. Thanks for the tutorial bro. Very helpful. You got my SUBSCRIPTION AND LIKE

[@tahakhalid8661]

I have this same exact issue on 1998 3rd gen Does that mean the bolts are rusted out for one side . And the other side works fine I thought there was a motor issue but now I thinks that’s not the problem

[@Blaze9281_]

So from what I can tell, it’s just a few bolts on that driver side that have accumulated rust over the years to cause this? If that’s the case, thank you for the video. I will be sure to let you know how this goes in the next few weeks!

[@wyattg2186]

Yes they build up rust and it pops the nut out of where it was snug inside the plastic. The issue is fixed by just sending a bolt all the way through, the trick is to keep the new bolts as flush as possible to stop it from catching on the plastic cover behind the window.

[@JackedJaw]

So that window bracket you ground down and repainted... what is that technically called. Ours got rusted and we got the right and left guide rails and I thought it would be included with the left guide rail and it is not.

[@thtblack5.7]

Thanks! I will try it tomorrow and see if that is my issue😁

[@yakbassin7196]

One of my white plastic wheels is broken in half. Any ideas what the part might be called?

You could also go to your local junkyards website and see if they have any 3rd gens on the lot, that's probably the cheapest option.
