Toyota 4Runner rear hatch window stuck

[@josephpilosky4775]

Had same problem with my 1998 fixed it same way as you did great video stay safe and healthy and warm 👍

...thank you Peter for another DIY video....I have two 2000 4Runners (3rd gen), and now have the confidence to do this repair myself.....more DIY videos on 3rd gen 4Runners PLEASE.... :)

[@brentatkinschryssilvestre8012]

Compliments to the proud owner of such a nice truck. I have a 2nd gen JDM Hilux surf as well that I store in winter so it will not rust out from road salt. Toyota 4x4trucks from the 80's and up to early 2000 are the most capable ,reliable off road daily drivers ever made.

[@gracenbrock]

This saved me hours of work. My window was stuck and I just jiggled the back wiper, then it would roll up.Thank you!!

[@micaht7768]

Those cheap rear strapped bike racks do this. The load bounces and hammers the sheet metal inward.

Watched as a family during our Sunday morning breakfast. Thank you, Peter! ❤❤❤

[@davidkemp9268]

Love this video...took mine apart today and 2 out of the 3 bolts holding the motor were completely loose..a few good turns and back in business...it was getting old pulling the wiper to allow it to roll down...01 sr5 276k miles...purrs like a kitten

[@brentatkinschryssilvestre8012]

I'm in Canada. I have the same white limited but a'98 with 395, 500 kms. I have done many tailgate widow repairs. After three 4runners I can do it in my sleep. I keep a spare set of glass and guts for the tailgate in my parts bin. It is the Achilles heel after the LBJ's on these gen3 trucks.

[@campbellmarty36]

It’s absolutely ASHAMED they stopped making this quality of vehicle!! Look at all the work and details that were just in the tailgate window!! Unreal at the quality back then!!!!👆👆👍👍

[@JerboFotius]

What kind of grease to lubricate the guides and scissor? I was hoping to see that part... I'm looking to lubricate mine up. It works but is just a little noisy. Thank you!

[@rjcontruction1406]

A few years ago I thought my 98 4runner back window finally stopped working but it was just that the windshield wiper didn't seat fully into its bracket. manually put it back into place and the window has worked again thank god. Another time it was rolling up really slowly and i thought maybe the motor was getting worn out, but i just sprayed some silicone lube down the rubber tracks on the window sides and its back to normal again.

[@alexberov6428]

Verry good content thanks. Do you have any experience with a Toyota Sequoia sunroof being suck? I took to motor out and it works but the cable mechanism looks a bit rusty and all it does when I try to open is click without any movement.

[@johnaustin2276]

Very similar thing happened to me the window was hitting the wiper. I swapped out the whole hatch from a junkyard one but the window wouldn't work. Noticed that the wires from the top that run to the front were frayed or broken so spliced them back together and works fine. Note, if you have a 96-98 you have to stay with those years because the wires are different on the 99-02.

[@davidzoyoquila941]

Thank you for this great video! I was able to stop the squealing noise coming from the rear window after using this as a guide!

[@on-site4094]

California vehicles are amazing rust free. 👍. here in the great white north it’s heart wrenching the rust

[@bookooc5605]

my 2005 liftgate window exploded in the cold with the defroster on last week. I get to replace it today. Yippee

[@dougfairweather]

Great video. However, I'm trying to find some answers :-) I have a 1995 from Australia... My tailgate folds down (make it easier to work on, I think)... Is it possible for the glass window to come away from the mechansim? Also, did you use a type of grease on the glass tracks?

[@Henray316]

Silicone lube

[@nickdeppa3912]

What is the blue box at 3:58 ? Is it some kind of module ? Have the same on my ‘97 limited but never figured out what it was ! 😄

[@rudypurins5276]

my 2000 has a orange box. I think it's the brains of the tailgate so you can't run the wiper when window is down and stuff like that.

[@calimag1]

what did you use to lube the plastic parts and the glass channel?

[@LAactor]

Use a SILICONE based lubricant when in contact with #epdm style rubbers or else swelling can occur. I personally like Teflon impregnated silicone spray but that's optional and up to you as long as you can find silicone lube. As for the "plastic parts" you mentioned, I don't know what other than the rubber channel seal there is to lubricate but if it's in the channel use the same. For the METAL teeth in the scissor gear mechanism the silicone spray is too loose and runny. I prefer to use white lithium grease on the metal because it's tacky and sticks better. Don't go crazy with white lithium grease. If in spray form, point and aim exactly where you want it and close enough or else it can get everywhere.

[@wanman4065]

My window goes up and pops out and goes back down. It feels like it’s off the track. Are there clips that hold the rear glass in? Or is there a tracking mechanism that I cannot see? I haven’t taken it apart yet so hoping you can help or at least steer me to the right direction. Motor itself works fine.

[@ericjudd3137]

Great video love the more in-depth ones don't own a Toyota but subscribe too many Automotive channels keep on putting them out have a good day

[@mariochuqui746]

You are a master of your craft

[@maximusmurua4437]

Thank you very much. I really appreciate your time

[@Alexisandsons]

Which part of California are you in?

[@ProudElefant44]

Great job. Can you do a video on back latch repairs? Let it be mechanical or electrical... thank you

[@82Ismael]

Hello sir where can I contact you. I need work done on my 2006 tundra.

[@gabrielmillien7439]

That is a beautiful truck.

[@Slotcarking]

Love your channel! I have a 96 4Runner!

[@drawbridge611]

Wow. Excellent diagnosis.

[@wvtaco4379]

It just needed Peter's special touch.

[@HugoGarcia-mm2uy]

What a great teacher “ thank you 🙏

[@animedan6954]

I have a 97 4runner, i tried to start my truck and the battery was low so it didnt start. However, the rear window came down. I put in a new battery but the rear window no longer goes up, it just does a clicking sound. P.S. the lock button is not on. Please help!

[@steveplaia2581]

Same thing on my ‘98. I hear a ‘click’ assuming motor is bad

[@markeverson5849]

I'm glad I found your video my rear window is doing the same thing in my 96 trying to move up and down hopefully it's the same minor problem :-) the kid I bought the car from would slam the rear hatch down hard!! gravity could Bend it? hopefully it's not something else thank you

[@HanifEFIMechanical]

Good work air

[@timbro68]

Super helpful, thank you for making this video!

[@timapel4450]

Very useful vid. Well done!

[@rightlanehog3151]

The new Sequoia lost its roll down tailgate window and the latest LX lost its split tailgate. It seems the future of the 4Runner roll down window is at risk so fans might want stock up on 4Runners now.

[@michealbaca4534]

Gonna do this on my 96 hopefully this is the case

[@davemarks7322]

Very good video. Best wishes...

[@akitatoyo8060]

My 05 sequoia rear door latch broke again! My wife's 04 Hyundai santa fe with 290 thousand miles has the same rear door latch! I want that door handle on my sequoia.

[@noahosteen2474]

Rebuilding mine now was in a little death as well

[@jonathangrubmeyer9104]
