Tried adjusting, didn't work. As usual I went onto Toyota Forums and someone advised to actually remove the whole mechanism, this advice was listed as part of a previous Toyota advisory on the problems associated the back window not going down. Hey presto it now works! I knew there was power going to the motor because I could hear it clicking when I operated the button. Never had problems with rear wiper or heated window. One or two people on the forums mentioned the motor doesn't have that much power and struggles so good idea is to keep the rubber the window slides up along well lubed. Did this as well as spraying electrical cleaner on all of the connections and lubing everything else where appropriate. I really hope it's the last time I have to pull off that rear panel, removed several times previously when dealing with the infamous broken latch. Amazes me that Toyota make such great engines and transmissions but sometimes fall short on the peripheral stuff.

I just bought a seQuoia two days ago, and thanks to this video today I fixed the rear window for free. Thank you

Best Toyota DIY I’ve seen on KZfaq. IT ACTUALLY WORKS

Got a 03 Sequoia and the back window stopped working a week after I got it. Back in business after watching this!! Thanks!!

I rode around for 2 years with the window stuck in the up position thinking I had to replace the motor. This fix took me less than 30 minutes and saved me money. Thank you! You're a life saver. Now im on to the next project because if you're like me your work never ends.

After several years thinking my motor was broken, tried this fix because I had nothing to lose. Thank you for the easy step by step process. This fix worked! You have saved a lot of money for so many viewers, keep up the good work and god bless!

The rear window is one of the best features in the first generation Sequoia. It only took a few days of not having it operating to figure out how to fix it. Thanks to your video it took about 25 minutes to get it back to normal operation. 🙏🏼

Did this and it worked on my 2003. The one thing I’d add, if your window motor isn’t engaging after performing this fix, is to tap on the motor for the window lightly to free it up. There is a Toyota Service Bulletin TSB out on this as well.

Thank you so much for this video! I have a 200 Sequoia Limited with 274,000 kilometers and the rear window was the only electronic not working, opened up the panel as per the instruction in your video and Voila miraculously the rear window is now going up and down with ease. Thank you so much for this DIY!

Thank you for posting this video! The job took me only a few minutes and my rear window was back to working! Much appreciated!

OMG!!!! I have been trying to get this fixed for 3 years!!! Even stumped my mechanic!! Started with saying the window wiper motor needed to be replaced but it didn't seem right to me.... However, I replaced the motor anyway, and nothing... Finally saw this video and a simple 15 minute fix and BAM working again!! Thank you very much! So glad I didn't go through the huge pain of trying to change the window motor!

If you’re in there with everything taken apart, spray some lube down the side of rails and all moving mechanisms to prevent sticking or tension. I repaired the latch once and since everything was open I sprayed PB Blaster White grease to lube it all up. Worked a lot smoother. Also cleaned all the gunk buildup from previous years and a lot of sand from beach adventures. 🤙🏾

DUDE! I just got a 58k mile 03, only thing that didn't work was rear window. This video and 10 min is all I needed and now it works great. Thank you so much!

Great job man, you just saved me and a lot of other people some money ! Nice work seriously 👍🏽

Spot ON!!! THANK YOU. Our window quit working a couple of years ago, I let it go figuring OLD age got it. My Sequoia is 2004, and I did not want to put a lot of money into it. I found your video. I was BLOWN away, worked perfectly after the adjustment. THANK YOU AGAIN!!! New subscriber to the channel.

Awesome video dude. Funny thing is until I opened it I realized the last "Toyota Certified Mechanic" at a Dealership adjusted the same screws and charged what I can't write on here. I can see the spot where they adjusted it. Did exactly what you showed and made sure the bolts were tight. Works like a charm. Can't thank you enough.

This video is the best! Straight to the point and very detailed! It worked for me! My rear window would work only intermittently and now it works perfectly and i can now use the rear window now 😬 you my friend are a life saver

DIY Dave for President like the other guy says almost 2 years until I decided to fix it. Thank you works like a charm!

Wow! After not working for about 17 years now.....this fixed it. I can't believe Toyota kinda left this hidden. Thanks a bunch.

This was an excellent video, exactly what was wrong with my window. I was backing up the on Sunday and hit a palm tree with m trailer receiver (no damage other than my favorite window stopped working) probably because of the jarring for the tree. I followed this video and had it fixed in 15 minutes. Thank you man!

Had the same issue on my 04 Sequoia. This worked like a charm. Problem solved for $0 and about 10-15 min. start to finish. Many thanks.

Just wanted to say what a great video this is. I have an 02 Sequoia and had this issue before which usually was the weather strip just adhering to the window but after prying between it and the glass my issue persisted. Luckily I found this video and ended up having the same issue you did. Thanks for the help.

You just got straight to the fix and that's what's I appreciates about this video. Thank you

This video is great information for early sequoia owners. I just fixed my rear window, thank you!

I just fixed my window with your video, and i wanna say thank you very much! This is probably my favorite feature on this toyota.

This worked for me. I was having problems already with the lift gate not working then all of a sudden the window wouldn't work. I thought it was the switch and was going to replace it when I came across this video. I made the adjustments and tried the switch. The son of a gun went down and was working just as it should. Thank you!!!

I was looking into purchasing a regulator. I came across your video and decided to try it out. IT WORKED!! Thank you.

Literally just finished doing this as I'm typing this message on my 2002 Sequoia Limited and it took me 5 minutes to do. Thank you

The list goes on and on, and we all agree. Great video man, liked the info., the antics, hilarious sounds and all. Gonna fix mine this weekend and move on to the next project too. Thanks bro.

Worked like a charm! Thanks for the info.

Just bought my 04 today and this was a point for a discount on the price. Fixed it in five minutes! Thanks!

Awesome fix! Worked on my 2003! Thanks buddy.

Dude!! Your video is just about perfect...I watched it, went out to my G1-Tree with a little pry bar and my 10mm and BOOM! Thank you so much for an excellent video! 15 minute fix!

This works perfect! Big thanks! I had to take mine apart to replace the rear glass (just $179 with free shipping) and needed the window to go up and down for that procedure so this was a lifesaver procedure. If anyone is having the issue with the handle not working well on the liftgate you can add 20 cents of washers to the cable and it will fix that also while you are already in there !!!

It worked on my 02 thank you great video straight to the point

just did this repair on my sons 2003 Sequoia, and it WORKED! SO glad i came across this video! Next on the list is to figure out how to fix the horn issues. Have a good one!

Thanks man mine just stop working four days ago. When I get some time off at work it will be fixed great video.

After buying a window motor, getting ready to replace it.. I watched your video and this was exactly what was wrong with mine. Thanks for the video.

Dude, what’s your Venmo? I’d love to buy you a pint. Thank you for this fix.

Best how to video on this fox…….period! Worked like a charm.

Omg thank you!!! I bought my sequoia over 6 years ago and my back window has never worked. It now works 💪

I tried it and it worked like a charm. My rear window now works again. It stopped working so long my wife and kids didn’t even remember it could be lowered 😂. Thanks for sharing 🙏

Thank you so much! My back window randomly stopped working and this fixed it and only took 5 minutes!

Just repaired my rear window, thanks to your informative video!

My favorite part about this right now is and thanks to you I don’t have to sell it 😂

Thank you. I had the same symptoms on mine tree. Your guide worked so well.

Excellent shop hack! You're awesome for sharing!

Great video, and the fix worked to get the rear window working again on my '02. Thank you - that saved me time and money! I have one question for you or your viewers. Presumably, this part serves some purpose, and the adjustment is also part of the design for some purpose. Does anyone know if there is a "correct" position to use? For me, I just pulled the part all/most of the way down, tightened it at that position, and it worked, so that's how I left it, but that seems a little arbitrary to me. Appreciate any feedback, and thanks again for posting a great time- and money-saving video!

You’re a life saver

Exactly as you said. I followed your advice and it worked. Lovin' my 2002 1st generation. Thanks so much.

Just fixed my 2006 Sequoia! I have had it since november and havent sorted the issue until today! thanks for the simple video!

you are the best I could solve my problem💪🏾

Thank you, the rear window had not worked for a while and a long time ago I opened the panel to move the circuits, I was thinking about buying a motor, but I watched your video and I did it and it worked again, thank you

I had no issues with my 04 but was happy to learn !

Awesoem video man! I bought mine a few years ago and I had fixed it and lubricated the bearings but it didn’t work so this actually worked for me! Thank you so so much!

Just did this today!! Thanks so much for this brotha!!! Took about 15-20 mins!!!

Thanks brother! Worked like a champ 👍🏼

Toyota dealership quoted me about $1675 plus tax and labor to replace ecu and motor. I just fixed the issue in less than a half hour. Thanks!!

Thank you for this video I fixed my window it really helped me.

Worked like a charm!!!

I got a 1st gen tundra and I am learning there are a lot more similarities from that to the sequoias. Gonna go looking to see if I can find this brake and get my rear window rolling again. Thank you for this insight information!

Can't wait to try this. Thank you

Just fixed mine with this workaround, thank you. Side note: if the battery is low, the rear window won't move if the vehicle is not running (but ignition in "on" condition). I thought the attempt to repair it didn't work, but I randomly tried it again while driving and presto. Now it works perfectly at all times

Great video. I was thinking it was electrical the whole time. Worked for my 04'

Window stopped working, randomly. Already had the back panel off trying to troubleshoot on my own. 2min after watching this video, the window is working again. That's efficiency!

Window stoped working out of nowhere. This worked. Thank you. Took me 10min. And a 10mm ratchet screwdriver

Dude this took me 20mins and it fixed it perfectly thank you so much

You save me so much time and money thank you!

I’m gonna try this on my tundra hoping it’s the same or similar thank you for this 🙏🏼

Awesome solution. Thank you 🙏🏽

This video is a life saver I was about to get a window motor for it ❤❤❤❤❤5 stars thanks for the tip

Thanks A lot Dave this is exactly what my 05 sequoia was doing and I could hear the click when a press on the up and down button but nothing!!!!! I did this to mine and it’s working great 👍!!! AWSOME

Thank you so much!! This was an instant (and really quick) fix, and really easy to understand!

Dude - thanks!!!! Mine randomly went out just the other day and less than 30 mins later, had it operational! Thanks, DIY Dave!

Great video!!! Did the trick for me! Took no time at all!!!

Thanks brother, your video helped me a lot, I was able to fix the window of my sequoia

You’re a life saver!

Yess thank you!! This is exactly what I needed to do!

This was exactly what was wrong with our 2005 Sequoia. Thank you for posting.

Can't thank you enough for this. Can you imagine how much money Stealership Service departments have stolen from customers by simply making this adjustment and then charging for expensive new parts and many hours of labor?

mine's not working for like 10yrs, Toyota fixed it once but then the problem came back a few weeks later. I replaced the latch before but never knew about this Thank you so much.....

Dude you're a legend! Holy sh!t It works! Thank you very much. Just in time for your video!!!!

Thank you! Fixed my 01!

Wow this instantly worked. Thanks!!

Excellent advice!

Ohhh 😮 it works..! thank you 🙏🏽, I just like you’re video 👍🏽

Thank you. It worked for me!!

Well I'll be darned.. First I want to say thank you. Then ask is it ok to share this video. I wouldn't want to get you in trouble 🤣. Being that I needed to fix my liftgate problem I searched and your video somehow stuck out among the others. Keep doing what you are doing, you have earned my like and subscription

Great job, love your video 👍

ne subscriber!!!Dave you Made my day thanks same thing!!!thank you, same here 3 years on the rode without my window working. and just plain layzzzzzzie

Thank you. Fixed my 2006 Sequoia.

Your awesome brother. Thank you.

Thanks for posting this, it just worked on mine!!! I'm doing a happy dance.

I'll have to check mine! I swapped ECUs AND the motor because my lock wasn't working either... but this is AWESOME for anyone only having window issues.

Thanks, I had just about given up on the window - 2001- It works

I just ran across your video man and im gunna give it a shot in the morning. Funny thing is i know my window works because one day i went camping out of nowhere i got it to roll down after 5 years of ownership of my sequoia then now it wont roll back down again lol im crossing my fingers this is the culprit and yep the same noise from the motor as yours and its been like that since i got the truck

Very good video. Fixed it instantly.

Very useful bro thanks

thank you it help me a lot

Love the directional arrows and the music
