This is a wonderful video, very succinct to the point and informative. It saved me tons of money. A Golf ball found my sunroof glass on a 2005 Toyota Limited 4-Runner. After doing some initial research, I discovered how expensive it was not only in buying a replacement, but having it professionally installed. I found this instructional video and a foreign auto dismantler who had a half dozen 4Runners, all with glass. I got a brand new looking glass (although dirty) for $125.00. So, thank you very much. I also enjoyed watching the interaction between you and your son. Great Dad.

Replacing my 2014 Cadillac after it exploded. Honestly helped a lot! Got a used glass for 120$! Saved me so much! Thank you.

Awesome having your kid help! Great job brother

Just replaced the sunroof on my 2011 Corolla using your video as a reference. It was exactly the same... thanks for posting. I did check toyota service documentation for any additional info and basically it states to be sure and align to -0 to +2mm in height. Took longer to align just right (working by myself) than it did to R+R lol Definitely recommend magnetized torx bit just to be safe.

[@jamestincher4753]

some variance in the specs depending on which corner or side, but +/- 1mm will get you in spec regardless

Little man's what's up had me! I have subscribed!

[@midnightsrt1021]

Wait the avalon headliner is the same as the es350?

[@bbstacker70]

Well done video! Your son appears to be a great helper, do you rent him out? My son cares absolutely nada about cars. .....plus he is 37 and takes up too much room in the car. Thanks again for a job well done!

[@centralfloridaidiotdrivers407]

Thank you so much for creating this video.

[@MrCaribe65]

"What up" he says lol. :^D cute kid lmao. Awesome video. Whoever gave you thumbs down, has issues.

[@naveen69812]

Thanks Sir, for that great video. You explained it and made my job easy. Actually, I have a 2012 Corolla and my Car carpet got soaked while driving in the rain. SO I took it to the dealership and they told me to replace the entire sunroof although they told me that the rubber gasket is cracked but they do not do the rubber gasket alone. Can you please help me to figure out where you purchased the parts from- I mean website etc and is it possible to replace the rubber gasket alone. So far it has not been an encouraging research on the web as the rubber gaskets do not seem compatible with my sunroof on corolla 2012. Thanks

naveen khan Here’s a website for reference. parts.olathetoyota.com/auto-parts/2012/toyota/corolla/s-trim/1-8l-l4-gas-engine/body-cat/sunroof-scat

[@naveen69812]

Thank You, I found it. Costed me $50 with shipping charges. On the other hand, the Dealership price was $1000 to replace the entire windshield.

[@ronnierichards4512]

Bro this video help me alot cuz my glass on my corolla and I was wondering how to do it my self cuz I'm from trinidad and toyota here is charging me when converted $900 for the glass alone so even if I have to pay that much for the glass I can save some cash by changing it my self

[@erahelp]

Love how the kid said what's up

[@Robert-Dusek]

Good job, both of you!

[@jrdabossleelee3289]

I have a question my sunroof works but the cover part in front of the glass I can't slide it back in order to open my sunroof what do I do

[@pitubg]

I broke my 17 rx350 shark fin. Back up into garage door. Dealer want to charge 6 hrs labour. $960. Is it reasonable? I ordered the parts. Planning to diy. I had removed some of other cars before for wrapping. Don’t know if this is more difficult but why 6 hrs by the book

[@tbonez956]

pitu mc I found a video similar to what you need help with. Hope this helps. kzbin.info/www/bejne/nHqUY4yOmMusjs0

[@saw31489]

You guys are awesome

[@TheKdizzle1971]

the fist 4 seconds I have an acid flashback

[@miqbal1981]

thanks

[@kevinmackenzie7346]

What was the part number of the replacement glass assembly? I'm looking at the Toyota drawings, it just looks like a piece of glass with nothing to bolt on to.

[@tbonez956]

I tossed out the box with the part number on it. I was able to find it online. Toyota P/N 63201-06060. Good luck!

[@kk6aw]

Didn't show me what I really needed. my window is ok. How do I reinstall the plastic folded gizmos, one on each side of the window. One of mine came out. it shows one detached from the top in your repair. what keeps them inplace

[@tbonez956]

At 1:45 on this video it shows how to remove it. On part 2 of this video at 1:00 it shows how to replace it after adjusting the window. There is a thin channel where it slides into and it snaps in place very easily. I hope this helps.

[@pitubg]

My son would hold his own phone for his KZbin.

[@samsonn25]

You handled the new glass like it weight nothing
