Open Toyota Sequoia rear hatch. Updated from prior video. Sequoia rear hatch broken. Broken latch

[@PraiseJesusChrist2024]

Thanks for the vid man this really cleared everything up for me gonna give this a shot. Been riding dirty with expired tags cuz my brake lights out and I can't replace it. Very appreciated

Great, see my other video on how the latch looks and how to bend the tool to fit in the area to unlatch it. Thanks

[@stephanieyang9168]

Can you show while the door is open how you popped off the plastic piece ?

[@jerryrig5208]

Just use a bent screwdriver or awl to just open up a corner so you can get the bent tool in. Once you get the tool in and past the cover you should be able to get it. It may take many many tries. The cover originally has a small bead of silicone on it so take the screwdriver and try to go around the whole cover to score the sealant. See my other video for the tool size I Made. Good luck

You pry off the notched end first cause the other end has hooks to hold it in place

Please get someone to video this process. You have a great solution to a real problem, but the video of the operation is not good.

[@jerryrig5208]

thanks so much... watch my first video and I show you how to make the tool and where to put it to unlatch the hatch. the first video doesnt have the cover installed so its easy to see how to do it. the second video just shows that you can do it even with the cover installed. You only need to move the cover just enough to get the tool inserted behind the cable

Great stuff man

[@BatmanBoss]

Thanks buddy

[@lora97006]

Could something be rigged to stay there so that you don't have to insert the tool each time? I agree that the repairing process (repeatedly) is an annoyance.

[@jerryrig5208]

I think one of the comments on my other video mentioned once you got it opened- just hook a tyrap on it (the lever) and leave the slack end hanging out, then just pull on the tyrap to open the hatch

Anybody know how to turn trac off / engine light off permanently?

[@JamesPDoan]

I changed the back brakes and the trac light went off. Maybe just a coincidence but surprised me.

Thanks for this super helpful video. I’d like to buy you a six pack of your favorite beer. Do you have a VENMO or PayPal account?

[@jerryrig5208]

Lol, thank you. Glad I could help
