So far the best Sequoia latch I've seen

[@PreparedPatriotNC]

Are you still making these? There is no link to go to.

[@TBR996]

wheres the latch link at?

[@frostbite_hemi3922]

I removed the cable all together. It’s not necessary to keep it, so I ditched it. I also kept all of my black housing/trim prices and I just used garden shears to cut away at some of the material to give clearance for the new lever.

[@matthewwilliams747]

Lmao I have the “latch issue” also but I’d like to point out something. We all gripe about the “common” things that go wrong on Yotas… my latch lasted 20+ years… the horrible Toyota engine, 3.0 V6 will still last 250-300k. Just pointing out that all though these issues are common for a toya… pretty funny that we complain about a vehicle that is 20 some years old having some issues…

Is this from Airdown Adventures?

I thought I was watching The DIY HVAC Guy.

Plastic cover is for protect out of water so no loose the grease on mechanism and doesn't get corrosion 🤷🏻‍♂️🤷🏻‍♂️ obviously nothing is forever that's why they give u warranty for 10 yrs almost all vehicles

[@kenmcf]

You said the cover was not needed but I think it's to keep dust and grime off the moving latch parts. Those get dirty then they start to bind and stick.

[@JujuBebop]

I want this!!! My hatch is stuck for the third time. I'm tired of replacing these parts. I also love the ability to open from inside. Can you provide a link?

[@foxracn85]

I installed your latch today. Took me 15 minutes and is the best mod. No better feeling when things work the way they should. Thank you for making these available.

[@electropentatonic]

I'm on my 3rd OEM handle and recently I've started to have put my shoulder into the door to open it. My wife is going to be super stoked on this. Thank you 🙏

[@LH-kz2nf]

I did something that works the same on my 06 but yours looks very professional and 110% better than mine. I used a small diameter 8" piece of stainless steel wire that has a washer on the end of it. So now it has a tail lol. I grab the tail and pull slightly to the left and it opens right up.

[@tparr01]

That is an AWESOME Fix! I have had to take that back panel off about once a year to repair that stupid tailgate lock. I am adding this today!

[@rachaebby]

Dude thank you SO MUCH! I've had my Sequoia rear hatch apart so many times. I followed your video today while installing a P clamp for the new latch. You're a life saver thank you!

[@mikevivilacqua8868]

Thanks for sharing. I won’t be buying another latch handle ever again. Made mine out of a scrap piece of aluminum… covered it with a tight fitting vacuum cap. Didn’t bother with the cable on the inside as I didn’t need it. Again, thanks!

[@rubymartinez1125]

That's freaking awesome. I'm gonna go fix my latch That's been broken almost a year. I had a few guys look and try to fix it but they couldn't or just lazy. But you just make my day, I'm fixin to go fix and get redneck on my 2003 Toyota. I'm a little bit redneck to and you saved me a shit load of money. THANK You. You're the bomb. Thanks from TEXAS.

[@rexradar9297]

Nice mod.

[@raylewis238]

Amazing. I've replaced the back latch multiple times on my sequoia. Right now, I have the cable accessible on the outside of the door but it can be a pain to open. This bypass lever is a game changer.

[@jordanmercier3616]

I've replaced my latch 3 times in 4 years lol, this is gunna be on my to do list for sure.
