FJ Cruiser rear door won't close (fix).

The rear door latching mechanism gets sticky and doesn't return to its open position even when the rear door handle is lifted up. If this happens, with the FJ completely unlocked including the back door, while lifting up the rear door handle, use your finger, pen or something to push the latch toward the front of the vehicle. Then make sure to lube the mechanism when you get a chance so it is less likely to occur.

My FJ Rear Door latch failed this morning, just like yours had. Luckily, I found your video and fixed my issue in seconds. I've lubed the latch and am prepared in case it fails again. Thank you.

Thank you! I had this problem on a -3 degree day with winds up to 60 mph and couldn't figure it out so luckily I had some zip ties with me and just zip tied the door the best I could. When it warmed up the door worked just fine. A few weeks later it happened again at night, cold out and away from home and it was going to be freezing rain then turning to rain soon and I didn't want water to get into the back of my FJ and this video saved the day for me

Thank you for posting this, I couldn’t figure out why the latch wouldn’t move until I watched this. It saved me a lot of time.

[@amberbradford0]

Omg…this happened to me twice on a 115 degree day/night. I was so frustrated!! Thank you so much!!🙏

[@gordonjoyce3946]

Ive just had the same experience in the heat of the Arabian Gulf. It happened once before and it seemed to solve itself. This time I had a frustrating day trying all tricks to get it operating. Finally, found your video and fixed it one minute of WD 40 and a thin screwdriver. Thank you for sharing your experience.

[@sumangupta5766]
