How To Replace Toyota Pickup Window Regulator

This is how to fix or replace a window regulator on an '84-'88 Toyota Pickup, or an '84-'89 Toyota 4Runner with a solid window (no wing window, although the process is similar, just a different part). enjoy!

Brother this is a killer video...my 02 had this problem. You are cool for - A. totally just wrenching the job, after first repair doing the gear thing. Then doing it again with a rusty pos that totally needs a bunch of work/oil.. Thanks cause I was thinking about doing this myself but I'm gonna pay the shop

[@sarahkristensen3016]

Awesome thanks man! my window as of right now is a real workout to get down. Can't wait to get to on this, great tutorial

[@legacynorthwest1249]

No problem, hopefully its a quick fix for you! Buy some teflon spray from amazon and coat the window guides too! Thank me later on that part!! Haha

Thanks man! I’ve got to replace mine too. Appreciate the tutorial. Gotta love the old hilux’s.

[@legacynorthwest1249]

Thank you, you made my repair easier...

If I want to just replace my window glass (got smashed), can I follow your steps up until you take the bolts out for the regulator? My regulator is fine, just need to replace the glass.

[@riotwyatt1983]

Where did you get the new window regulator from? Mine is doing that same thing where that spline doesn’t sit firm and wobbles. Looking to get a new one soon for my 85 4Runner. Thanks for the video!

[@legacynorthwest1249]

eBay! But in this video I temporarily used a used unit from another Toyota. The eBay ones are good though. Make sure to understand that the wing windows and non wing windows use different regulators. Good luck!

[@charliegower5100]

Gday mate, just wondering if you need a special to to get down and take that c clip off

[@Jeans_on]

All that and you didn’t show how it wound after. Good explanation and method.

[@loyalwaud5374]

Bought my window regulator from Rock auto.com. Thanks for the tutorial. Would have been nice if camera were closer to see better what you did, etc. Thanks

[@legacynorthwest1249]

Good advice. Ill work on that for next time. Thanks.

Do you know if the wing window part number is the same on a 82 sr5 and say a "second gen" one? I've been all over forms and Google and I can't find a new one, or even a used on on eBay for a sr5 first gen

[@legacynorthwest1249]

The part for the first gens with wing window are unavailable everywhere. You have to go used or convert it to a full window. I had to ship one across America for my first gen. Good luck!

When I had my '80, I had no luck finding the regulators that were for the wing windows. This was about 5 years ago when I tried searching online and at salvage yards. In my case, the part where the handle that cranks; it became wobbly and eventually broke. What I did from what I remember was disassemble the crank part from a regular regulator and putting it on the wing window regulator. This involves grinding the spot that holds the crank part, swapping the parts, and then welding it back on.

[@justinfontenot3930]

@@the_7th awesome. That’s some good information, I’ll look into that and see if I can grab some regular ones and try that. Thank you.

[@the_7th]

@@justinfontenot3930 you're welcome. I think there's a set of used ones on eBay right now if you check

[@brennoncook6279]

The 2002 base Tacoma is pretty similar other than the door panels being a little different too!

[@legacynorthwest1249]

I imagine it's pretty similar on a lot of standard crank windows. I just didn't see a lot of videos on this so i figured I would participate with my rendition. I'm glad you like it!
