Do you know why the 10mm bolts at 1:46 are so tight? I swear I turn them in the right direction (counterclockwise) but they wouldn't budge. Was it also hard for you to remove them?

[@reylafo]

Love the huge echo sound when the plastic snaps!

[@carlosemerson8539]

My license plate screw wouldn't come out, thanks to this video I was confident enough to remove the rear hatch door plastic to reach and hold the license plate nut and remove the screw. Thanks!

[@borisdemelo]

Thanks. Helped me with removing the panels in my Toyota Auris hatch. Figured Toyota builds them the same way in all their cars so gave it a go and it was indeed all the same.

[@RedDogTexas]

Perfect instructions. Thank you very much.

[@garymeredith2441]

You guys have outstanding videos .

[@alexk971]

Excellent video! Helped me on replacing my license plate light with LED bulbs.

[@serdna9307]

Thank you so much!!! You are the best!!

[@RobertVosburg]

Thanks need this for the 2018 RAV4 🤘

[@ijazsaeed9640]

Well explained. Well done.keep it up. Thanks

[@3100fps]

Great video. If I ever have a bulb go out I will replace them all since its such a pain to get access to the bulbs.

[@dhorajee1478]

Nice Man.. Really helped me a alot, had to change the reverse light.. Couldn't find anywhere. This video solved. Liked his russian english accesnt.. Regards.

[@chrishewson40]

Perfect, just what I need to put the fallen bolt back on to screw the number plate on.

[@Greg-mx7tr]

A cool, unintentional feature that makes it harder for your license plate to be stolen.

Great video thanks!!!!

Hi can you teach us how to take out the license plate light

[@SaajIftikhar]

Great video, thank you

[@hao9902]

Thanks for posting this great video. It is well explained. Just one more question: what is the thing you were pointing at in the video at the time of 4:10? Thanks.

[@MorozovAutomotive]

Thanks! I believe it is the sound deadening material.

[@hao9902]

@@MorozovAutomotive One more question: seems nobody except me is interested in the "Back door weight". What's this for? Didn't find it on google. Thanks.

Hi great video, I need to unistall the rear camera, can I reach the camera from there?

[@jaimereyes6336]

Hello, how did the patent light module come out after removing the plastic?

[@hitenravani]

Hi I am getting rattle sound from the left bottom side of the back door trim. When I put my hand and press it the rattle seems to go away. Any idea what is causing the soft rattle and how should I approach fixing it?

[@tuubikuusela7847]

Same. 2021 Hybrid AWD

[@paradoxicalcat7173]

I suggest removing the trim, and applying a tiny amount of silicon sealant to the edges of the plastic, let it set, then reassemble. The silicon should act as a damper and stop the rattle. @@tuubikuusela7847

Hi. I’m interested to know where the AM radio antenna is located. Some say in the fin on the roof (I don’t think so), others say it is part of the rear window heater. If the AM antenna is part of the rear window heater, how is the cable connected? My European specs 2023 RAV4 has no AM capable head unit. I need to know this because want to replace my head unit for an OEM Toyota head unit that is capable of receiving the AM band. As far as I know, the cable from the rear window glass antenna runs to the cable that connects the fin antenna on the roof and both cables have connectors for that. The fin antenna cable then connects to the main antenna wire harness that runs all the way to the front of the car inside the right hand side of the roof where the air bags are as well. I know there are many different versions of the XA50 RAV4. I have no access to the workshop manuals but I do have access to the USA one. But like I said, there are so many different versions that it is very hard to find out. If only Toyota would be more willing to help me out. All classified info it seems….uhgg Toyota! Greetings from Holland. Bye , Willem.

How do you stop the "chime" from sounding when the rear hatch isn't completely closed and vehicle is moving? Thank you

[@VaughnDawson]

Thank you. I damaged my original panel due to a rolling lawn mower in my hatch. I had it replaced at a Toyota dealer for 750$. Ever since they put the new panel on I have had a loud terrible rattle when I go over a bump. They told me to put a cardboard roller up and put in the upper( number 1 panel) to stop the rattle. It didn’t work. Could one or 2 of those plugs that the panel snaps into have been broken when they replaced the panel? Advise please! Thank you!

[@MorozovAutomotive]

Thanks! It is hard to tell without looking. It could be broken or missing clips. They could have forgotten smth inside the panel and now it rattles. Since the dealership was doing the work I would go back there and ask them to check.

[@VaughnDawson]

@@MorozovAutomotive I did they told me to roll up cardboard and place it between the panel and window? But it didn’t work!! Lol I’m going to take it apart as you did but I bet there are a couple bad clips

[@stevesummersell_K4WXX]

Any room to mount a subwoofer?

[@sushi8204]

Do you by any chance have information on how to remove rear wing/spoiler?

[@MorozovAutomotive]

It will be very similar to removing the rear spoiler in the previous generation of the RAV4 - kzbin.info/www/bejne/iKvIZoR6ndaogpo.

how do i fix the latch if the trunk closes but it shows that my trunk is still open on my dashboard? sensor issue? cuz my trunk is nicely shut, but shows that its open on dashboard screen, rav4 2019 LE hybrid. thank you!

[@ObraBass]

What diameter those 4 bolts are?

[@kaptkrunchfpv]

The purpose if the weight is to wear out the power lift gate strut and then charge you $800 bucks to replace it, or try to anyway.

[@ВікторПатієвич-ш4ж]

Can you help me ? After a few days of extreme cold (-35) i have some noise inside this rear hatch door , i remember when it was cold it was something fallen inside this hatch door and now i hear noise when im driving my car

[@MorozovAutomotive]

It's hard to tell exactly what is going on. The best way is to remove the plastic and see what fell inside.

[@andromeda6204]

Hi, can you provide a link where I can buy a new panel (Rav4/2019) that you have just removed in this video? The internet is full of various names for this part and I struggle to find one.

[@MorozovAutomotive]

Here is the part number for the hatch door plastic panel - 67750-0R090-C0.

[@andromeda6204]

@@MorozovAutomotive Thank you

[@jackeroo75]

What about 2018 model?

[@MorozovAutomotive]

The process should be very similar.

[@MrSnuffinum]

I removed the weight. It weighs about 4-5 pounds. No noticeable difference

How has it been with out this weight? Any new noises or rattles vibrations?
