In today's video, I replace the tailgate handle on a 2011 Toyota Tundra and use the cheapest part I could find on Amazon. Do you think it will withstand the test of time??
Here is the part I used: amzn.to/3WLk7pz

Thanks for showing stuff that’s not in the Haynes manual. I’m dealing with a hood release that doesn’t ‘pop’. Pretty sure I have to dismantle most of the front end to fix everything. Hondas!🥲

years ago I had a Mitsubishi magna, and the drivers inside handle was broken. I was going to go find one at the junkyard, but I decided to first call the Mitsubishi dealership. The new genuine handle was $8

@rons9197 Ай бұрын

Thread a couple of zip ties around the broken handle so they make a loop. Put finger in loop and lift up n out. This should hold you until you do Faye’s diy.

What's the deal with these Toyota rear tailgate handles always busting? My neighbor has a 2005 Toyota Sequoia and the rear liftgate handle must have broke like 4 times in it's lifetime. Yes it has 308,000 miles but still. I was told that water gets into the tailgates and rusts the mechanism? Is that true?

@ptblackbird Ай бұрын

Is it possible to restore/refurb the original handle? Or it wasn't worth the time and effort?

My boss has been fighting with the rear latch on his truck for months and took it to Toyota TWICE and it broke again.... 🤦 So I sent him this video. 🤣Would really have liked to see what EXACTLY breaks on the original Toyota part? 🤔
