The easiest tutorial on KZfaq. Straight and to the point without all of the 'jabber jawing'. This is also a good tutorial for you if you have a 2004 to 2008 Highlander and your track has come off of the glass! On a side note ... I'm seriously concerned that Toyota hasn't done a recall on the major design flaw concerning these models.

I appreciate the video. It helped me understand the process of getting to the window motor. But why go to all the trouble to remove the window Channel? I did the job this afternoon without removing the channel or the window. It was much faster. I held the window in place with a couple of Clips on the lower window Edge, and then strung a bungee cord through the clips and attached the bungees to the door frame in such a way that there was upward pressure on the window, keeping it in place. Then I removed the four bolts that attach the regulator to the door. I slid the regulator out of the support platform under the window and then dropped it out the lower opening of the door. Once I had it out, rather than just replace the motor I opened it up to check the brushes and the windings. The brushes weren't making good contact so I adjusted them, cleaned up the carbon residue, reassembled the motor, installed it back on the regulator and put the regulator back on the door frame. The whole process was much faster than what you show by removing the window Channel and the window. I saved a few hundred dollars, and now have a fully functioning left rear window. An afternoon well spent. Thanks for the video tutorial. It was very well done and helped!

the bottom track that attached to the glass on my left-rear fell out. Removed the panel, the regulator, reattached the track to the glass, then you connect everything and use the switch to lower the regulator arm sort of half way, slide the plastic square from the arm into the glass track and push up the windows and put the regulator back in place, it help with that single bolt guidance. But lots easier than remove every things.

Thank you for this video! We had a problem with the window falling off of its regulator and these were all the details we needed to figure out how to solve the problem! Somehow, the metal track on the window moved a couple inches down the window... we moved it and put everything back together thanks to this video. Your time and knowledge are appreciated!

You didn't mention idling the motor like you did for the front. Also although I was finding different part numbers for the front and rear motors I have installed a front motor in a read door and it works fine.

Thanks for such a good video. No need to take out window. The motor and regulator will slip right out of one of those holes. Took me 20 minutes to do this job.

Yes there _was_ a need, to demonstrate how to do it. My regulator and motor was fine, the guide rail on the bottom of the window broke off and the entire window had to be removed and the rail welded back on. There were only 3 skinny rivets holding it on, like the thickness of a pencil lead. Great Toyota quality. So many issues with this Highlander, I can't understand the brand loyalty and reliability reputation. So far, not impressed.

Thank you for the video. As an amateur, I really appreciate you going through the lengthy process of full removal. My window only went down 3 inches so it was a pain to get it out. I found after replacing the motor rolling the regulator almost all the way down was easiest to get the window back on track and guided into the channels. Bought the car this way and clearly someone botched the first attempt because the metal track on bottom of glass was all the way out to the rear edge. Yikes. Not sure how that happened.

very nice video, well done !, I have noticed a lot of people had the same problem....the bottom track at the bottom of the glass comes loose.....doesn't that have to be glued back in place ?. it looks like it could pop out again when the regulator lowers the window.

Will this same motor also work for the rear left window? 2005 highlander.

@rjbush Жыл бұрын

The windows on my Highlander will go down, but they won't go back up. After a bit of time, it will go back up a couple of inches and then stop. After another little while it goes up a bit more. Will new motors fix this?
