Great job. That was a huge help. My favorite part was your son ratcheting the end cable connection. Definitely, a godly dad.

Wow very clear video step by step! Saved me lots of money and took less then an hour from start to finish! Thank you!

YES! I followed this step by step today. The dealership wanted over $500 to fix my door I did it myself for about $65.00. I also fixed my HVAC fan for $149.00. All in all, took about 3 hours to complete both.

Can’t thank you enough for this DIY video. Ordered the part of Amazon, got that in about two days. Used the video to complete the repair in under two hours. Saved me about $1000. Plus, keeps the old 2012 Toyota Sienna SE racking up the miles, about to surpass 200,000 miles this summer!

The cable on our 2013 Sienna Driver side door snapped this morning... found this video, called the dealer and for about $50ish, picked up the cable today after work and did this repair in a little over an hour. Thanks for the video!! Well done and saved me some $$$.

very helpful. you got me out of a jam. Wife and I were in the woods walking the dogs. she opened the same door and dang sure it wouldn't close. I could hear bending and stretching. I cut the cable just to get the door to shut. gonna go ahead and get the new cable and replace it. Again,.....Thanks a bunch.

Mike, you are saving folks a bunch of money with these tutorials. Thank you man, and you would be rewarded in some way for your openness to help others.

Lexus tech here, your video is a godsend 🤘🏼🤘🏼🤘🏼

This video was excellent. I'm a mom of three young kids and I've never worked on a vehicle before. My van door broke, I found this video later that day and ordered the parts from the description box. and I was able to install the new cable in about an hour over nap time. Thank you!

Thank you! I found I only needed to pry the rear end moulding up to remove the back anchor instead of removing/breaking it. Also helped when I started with the rear anchor. I didn’t need to remove the bracket that way. End with the 90° anchor since there’s just enough slack to snap it into place as the last step. Thank you for walking me through the steps without music and fluff!

Thank you for posting this!!! Just finished repairing my wife's Sienna following your instructions - super easy. 🙏

Thanks so much for the informative video. I was able to fix the broken cable on my 2014 Sienna. You were absolutely correct on the rail molding piece breaking! I tried my best and it broke. I used your link to get my replacement.

Thank you. Very informative! After almost 10 years, I’m about to tackle this project. You must be proud of your son😊

thanks a ton for this video! We had a 2015 sienna with a snapped cable. The dealership said it was covered under some sort of bulletin, but I opted just to replace it myself and not have the downtime of 2 days. Part was $90 CAD and it took me 45 mins to replace. One tip: The rear window trim piece can just bent bent back - plug it in first when you have slack in the cable, and then you don't need to remove the clip or the trim. Then plug the door side in. Def worth having a small or low profile ratchet, or an angled elbow to get into the tight spots.

You are the man,how easily you have explained this difficult process. Great job,may Allah bless you and your family. Love from Brampton Ontario.

"i know you KZfaqrs" Loved that line, 😂 cause I've definitely done that with car videos before, stopping the video early because I'm pretty sure I've "got it from here" and been wrong. Also, Loved seeing the kids, it was very cute and wholesome seeing them help their dad out. Last thing, really great video, very concise into the point, and straight forward on how to do everything. Keep up the great work

Thanks Mr. Mike for this guide. You saved me lots of time and effort. Cheers!

After seeing this video I decided to order the cable and attempt to replace it. It was not fun, but with your video I was able to get it all apart and it works great. Thank you very much. (04 Sienna passenger side cable)

You are a LEGEND my friend! Gonna order the replacement cable soon! Thanks again!

Thanks for the links to Amazon parts, a better deal than factory even with my business discount

Worked great! Thanks for showing! Took about 2 hours start to finish. The last part you unscrewed below the window is actually not necessary if you hold off attaching the cable inside the door. Was also able to get the window piece off without snapping the plastic. Happy it worked so well! Thanks again!

Thanks, nice and clear. Now I'm overconfident and ready to break something else!

Very helpful. Saved me $300. Thank you.

Thank you for this video, ordered the parts from your links and fixed it in a little over an hour, I appreciate it.

This is the best video I have found yet! Thank you so much.

Just found your video and just subscribed to your channel. I’m going to fix my wife’s 2011 Sienna passenger door. And thanks for posting all the tools and materials I need from Amazon. I will order them here shortly. Again, thank you for taking the time to film and edit and post this. And your son is luck to learn from his dad how to fix stuff!!

Great video, thanks for you’re detailed instructions!

Just finished installing on opposite door. All excellent tips. Thanks so much for posting!

Fast and easy explanation. Thanks for not wasting time with unnecessary nonsense.

Nice video. Waiting for my 2013 sienna doors to blow. I avoid opening the side doors as much as possible the last 10 years knowing this problem. Always use the rear. Of course don’t have small kids. Good vehicle otherwise!

Ours just broke today. Great video and detail. Thanks so much. I'll be referring to your video when I get to doing the replacement. Oh, and the boy did a great job. Lol

Mine snapped yesterday. Gonna order me a new one and tackle it. Thanks 👍 UPDATE: So I bought the cable from Toyota and started to follow these directions up until I started the back panel for the rear anchor. I figured out a way to not break the panel and not even a need to take anything out! All I did was not put in the front anchor so that I'd have some slack, pull pulled the door back, unbuckle the lower part of the panel only. The anchor cable would need to be cut, pull the lower part of the panel just enough to get your fingers into it, use a screwdriver to push the one side of the clip, fenagle your finger and push out the anchor. It's just enough empty space to hold the anchor to pull out. Since you have tons of slack on the new anchor, you slide it up, fanagle it back into the empty area on the left, then slide it into the anchor by pulling the cable. I was so happy I didn't need to break the panel. You can put the front anchor back in because there's some spring slack but I didn't want to damage anything just in case. I used my 10mm to release the front anchor holder since those two bolts are ridiculously exposed, locked the anchor in, held it in place to bolt it back on. That's it! I really hope this makes it so much easier for everyone else!

Golden video buddy ! You made this job look like there was really nothing to it ! Both of my cables broke like from 1 week from each other... So got to go fix that ! Thankx again !

Thanks for posting this video. I like your energy and how you let your kid help. Super cool.

so excited for this! my cable snapped yesterday!

Thanks! You saved me over $1000!

Thank you for a very informative video. I am about to tackle this tonight on my 15 sienna

What a help full video thanks sir

Provided me a wonderful walk-through and saved me a bunch of time. If you have a patron link comment with it.

Thank you for helping me to fix 2011 Toyota sienna left side door!🙏

Thank you very much!

Great video. I'll use it to fix a friends van. Also - sounds like you've got a polite kid!

You make it look easy, thanks for the info,

Thank you for taking the time to make this video. Very helpful!

nice tutorial......

Uber driver here. A sh!t for brains passenger just broke the passenger side cacle on my 2011 Sienna. Want to be sure this fits the 2011 Sienna Rt. side. Well done dad cute kids.

This video is phenomenal

Super helpful, thanks a ton!

Thank YOU so much for this video.

My van's cable just snapped in the AM dropoff line 😅. It had been grinding and making a horrid noise and then it just gave up. Thanks so much for this video. Do you have one on replacing an AC unit that doesnt blow cool air as well? Asking for a friend....

Thanks for the video!! Now I’m having another issue. My 2014 Sienna driver side slinder only opens 5 inches or so. I noticed a metal latch with a cable on the floor where the slider runs. That metal piece with the cable has no tension and it will just flop up and down. When it’s flush to the floor , door works fine. When it’s up a little it catches. Do we know what that piece is? Thanks for any info

When I buy that car I'm gonna do it only once: take off the cable, disconnect the motor and beeper. I'd rather open and close this door manually, than get stuck in the middle of trip. I had such problems with 2000 Toyota Sienna, when I went to my break during my working hours. I had only 10 minutes to figure out what doesn't let my door to close, unhook the cables and put everything back. I don't need the power door. I can close it with my hand.

Awesome video, thanks a million , 👏👏 how can one get those replacement parts ?

I tooky van to get repaired after a minor collision and it came back with a defective passenger door. It won't open automatically by pulling the handle out BUT, it opens from the key fob and overhead button. It will also close automatically from the handle, key fob and button. It's bizarre. Think it could be the cable or something else?

At 8:26. What is the part number or name for that "anchor" point bracket.

Thank you!

Thanks so much for making this! Will this work for a 2008 sienna as well? Every other video I’ve seen, the person had to take the window out. Not sure if the newer models above 2008 don’t require that

I had mine done under warranty long time ago. It broke again. Now I know. Did you buy OEM or aftermarket parts? Did you clean then lube it with white lithium grease?

will this apply to 2020 sienna (canada) thanks

bro and for sienna 2008 the sliding door cable is different! "Which do you recommend for 2008?"

Do you have the part number for just the cable? Everyone is trying to sell me the whole motor assembly for over $600.

Where is you shop?

How much should it cost to replace it at a mechanic?

Please tell me, my door opens automatically, but doesn’t want to close. It’s as if something is holding it and doesn’t allow it to close automatically, so you have to close it manually. What could be the problem? Has anyone encountered such a problem?

I just pay 302 dollars for my van door😢😢😢

And please remove the baby from the van.

Ummm wows! I’m excited to try my hand at this eeeeee🥹😳😁🤣🙃
