Just bought a 19 last week. You just saved a marriage. My wife was yelling at me from Walmart parking lot. 2 minutes in to video I FaceTimed her. All fixed and got an apology even!!!!!! Bless you!
Thank you so much for your comment. I had my Highlander serviced yesterday and then this morning the tailgate wouldn’t open. Thanks to you the problem was fixed easily.
I was about to take my vehicle to the Toyota dealer where I'm certain the service department would have happily told me the struts would need to be replaced. Great information.
Omg I'm so happy I found you. I pressed on that button myself, out of curiosity, and surprise, I couldn't open the bak door. Funny I have had this car for 2 years and I didn't know I could just open de window. I love my car!! Thank you so much for your video, you're my answers now. Will be watching more videos to learn new things about my Highlander!❤
Thank you, for this video. I wish I seen this before wasting the money thinking it needed to be fixed. I will continue to follow you for updates and tips. Thank you again. Blessing
Great informative video Brian! As I said previously, my favorite version of the Highlander is 2017 through 2019. I really liked that SE AWD Highlander! I have seen the back hatch height adjustment demonstration previously. That was an excellent tip as far as making sure the glass is completely closed and latched. Makes perfect sense! Stay warm Friend! It’s getting chilly again here in the Heartland. Mark in Iowa.
When I Saw The Title to This Video. I Started Laughing😂😂😂. This happened to me a few years ago. I rented a 2017 Highlander SE White in Color. My family and I was going on a 5hr around trip about halfway into the trip I noticed that the tailgate wasn't close and I pull over to close it. But after a longggg few minutes I found out it was the window that wasn't close. That was the #1 thing I learn about that generation Highlander. Overall I Love It. It was and I believe it still is a great SUV. This Was a Great Video and a Great Tip That Everyone Needs To Know If Your Considering Buying This Generation Highlander.
OMG. Thank goodness for you! I just spent 25 minutes having a melt down over this. I just bought a 2018 a few days ago and I am a fiddler (always fiddling with the buttons and settings and"fine tuning things😅"). I thought for sure I messed things up last night in my latest round of fine tuning . Thank up so much for this video. I was in the rain freaking out that I had messed it up.
Just fixed this....thank you Brian, and thank you Google. Your "height adjust" extra was also great, as setting 5 hits our newly installed garage door.
Thank you , I paid a car mechanic because of this problem and he took a microchip at the back door and said he was going to resent the memory and came back within 3 minutes, fix it up and it opened, I am sure now he just took the cash and did exactly this,. Thank you brotherly.
Maybe someone already mentionned here what I realized. The same bipbip will also happen if doors are locked. Simply unlock doors and the trunk will open. Thanks a lot for your interesting videos 👍
I have a 2015 Highlander Limited & have to replace both the struts & Trunk door control module on it, where do i gain access to the trunk door control module? I don’t want to have to pay the dealership to do it.. lol 😂😅 Thanks! Your videos are very helpful!
There is a switch next to glove compartment which can be culprit too by pressing it off while changing air filter. If none of above works, check it. I found that in another video. 👍👍👍
Ohhhh where is this little button you speak of? My a/c shit the bed this summer and I tried to clean the cabin filter, so maybe I hit something that is causing this problem
I had this problem but it was not any of this. If you open the glove box, there is a tiny black push button that disables the power lift door. I had checked the cabin air quality filter earlier in the day and must of accidentally pushed it. Drove me nuts until I just called the dealer...one 2 minute call from a helpful service provider fixed it.
I have a 2021 highlander my hatch makes this sound. There is no visible button on the hatch. Underneath where the button is located for manually opening the hatch there is a small button. Does that button open the window part of the hatch?
Any idea of what to do with the same 2 reps on highlander 2021 as that window on the back is no longer available. Only option to open trunk is with the kick move on the back. Can't wait use keyfob, or the front button, same 2 beeps.
Hi Brian. I checked the glass hatch in the back and it was fine. The lift gate still isn’t opening but instead of getting a quick 2 beep I’m getting a long beep. Any suggestions?
My rear door won't open .I do not have a glove box button nor do I have a button on the left of the steering wheel. My rear window will open but I can't get the door to open. Any ideas?
There is an interlock switch on the bottom of the glass frame. Once you open the window you will see it On my 2018 Highlander this switch was stuck. so it did not engage, nothing I did corrected the problem. I used WD-40 to lubricate it . This corrected the problem. Good luck
Ok so I’ve been having this problem for months now. I didn’t even know about the hatch window could open til last week. It’s always closed but I still have this problem. It’s driving me crazy. Could it be anything else?
My toyota highlander tailgate just pops open and won't open or close when pressing button it just beeps twice and won't move window is closed securely?
My highlander will produce a 3-6 second long beep and then not open. Glass panel is closed. No obstructions. I even reset the lift gate button in the glove compartment. Any ideas?
My 2015 Highlander the back hatch is opening only with the key fab or pressing the button in the back it is not opening when I press the button inside the vehicle by the steering wheel it beeps but it does not open I’ve checked the window opened it and closed it tight still not working any suggestions thank you
We did a factory order for that specific vehicle a month ago and the customer just got the news that Toyota is building it for them. If you have approx 8-10 weeks to get what you want, I may be able to help you.
I believe there is a button inside glove box to assist. But before that, try turning the car on, and unlocking all doors first. Let us know what works!
My mom was just chewing me out telling me I broke her door it won't open just goin off on me. So I looked up videos found this and told her just hang on this guy in video is about to tell us how to fix it she had no patience
Just bought a 19 last week. You just saved a marriage. My wife was yelling at me from Walmart parking lot.
2 minutes in to video I FaceTimed her. All fixed and got an apology even!!!!!! Bless you!
Glad to help!
Another life was saved
When I changed my cabin air filter I accidentally hit the button in the glove box that prevented the hatch from opening. Be careful when you do this.
Thank you!
Thank you , that’s exactly what happened!
Great tip! I just changed my filter too and hatch won’t work
Thank you so much for your comment. I had my Highlander serviced yesterday and then this morning the tailgate wouldn’t open. Thanks to you the problem was fixed easily.
That's happening to me where do I find that button ? I did an oil change too n this happening
I was about to take my vehicle to the Toyota dealer where I'm certain the service department would have happily told me the struts would need to be replaced. Great information.
Glad to help

What a funny story! Glad you enjoyed it! Thank you for watching
I was able to follow the door hatch setting procedure and that activated the door. Thanks again.
Nice you’re welcome!
Thanks - helped us reset the tailgate lift!
Glad to help!
I have literally had my 2016 Highlander for 4 years now and until today, did I know this had a window lol u helped me fix my issue. Thank u so much ☺️
Glad to help!
You didn’t know it had a window 😂I’m sorry but that’s kinda funny since it’s a big feature
I didn't know it opened either... owned for 2 yrs now...

Glad I could help!
Thank you! This actually worked for my 2008 Highlander Hybrid model! Thanks again😊

Glad it helped!
OMG Thank you. I couldn’t figure out what was wrong. Friend said UA-cam it there is your excellent video!
Glad to help!
Thank you for such excellent advise, this simple fix is not even mentioned in the owners manual.
Glad it helped
This happened to me today!! I will try that in the morning ti see if it fixes it. Thank you very much!!
You’re welcome! If not there is a button in the glove box that may help
I bought 2022 highlander hybrid xle. I loved it

Thank you , I paid a car mechanic because of this problem and he took a microchip at the back door and said he was going to resent the memory and came back within 3 minutes, fix it up and it opened, I am sure now he just took the cash and did exactly this,. Thank you brotherly.
Time for a new mechanic!

What could it be if its not the window OR the button in the glove box? It's driving me nuts! It was working fine until we installed dash cam!
Woohoo🎉 thanks
You bet!
I have a 2015 Highlander Limited & have to replace both the struts & Trunk door control module on it, where do i gain access to the trunk door control module? I don’t want to have to pay the dealership to do it.. lol 😂😅 Thanks! Your videos are very helpful!
Should be right inside the glovebox, the the left side I believe.
There is a switch next to glove compartment which can be culprit too by pressing it off while changing air filter. If none of above works, check it. I found that in another video. 👍👍👍
Ohhhh where is this little button you speak of? My a/c shit the bed this summer and I tried to clean the cabin filter, so maybe I hit something that is causing this problem
@@falontaylor4640 it is left side of the glove compartment.
I would like to see more Tundra Reviews and Corolla Cross and Avalon reviews please sir. Thanks
Will do!
you saved me today 🙏🏽

Thank you
I got you

Watched three videos and no one mentioned the 'tiny black button'.... Thank you! Must have been pressed during a cabin filter change!
This worked thanks for sharing
Was going to a new grand or highlander till I found out the back glass hatch has been discontinued.
What are you going to get now?
I have a 2021 highlander my hatch makes this sound. There is no visible button on the hatch. Underneath where the button is located for manually opening the hatch there is a small button. Does that button open the window part of the hatch?
On the 2021 the back glass does not open

Can't wait use keyfob, or the front button, same 2 beeps.
Try using the height adjustment menu in this video to make sure the power option is on
ua-cam.com/video/V_dsi8m_evQ/v-deo.html
@@brianruperti the power is on, for sure.
@@bogdan1802 Probably time to bring it in to service to get checked out
There may be a button in your glove box that helps
I have this issue but since my Highlander is a 2022, it doesn't have the rear window. So I'll keep looking for a solution.
Call your service center and inquire if you haven’t
Hi Brian. I checked the glass hatch in the back and it was fine. The lift gate still isn’t opening but instead of getting a quick 2 beep I’m getting a long beep. Any suggestions?
Hello, I believe there is a button inside glove box.
Please read through comments I think someone in here mentioned it. Lmk if that helps you
Thanks
You’re welcome!
My rear door won't open .I do not have a glove box button nor do I have a button on the left of the steering wheel. My rear window will open but I can't get the door to open. Any ideas?

Lift the tab and shut the window again and see if that helps
My toyota highlander tailgate just pops open and won't open or close when pressing button it just beeps twice and won't move window is closed securely?
Not sure what you’re asking sorry
Where is the enable/disable switch of highlander back door in glove box. I can’t find it.
I don't have one either
Ty
yw
My highlander will produce a 3-6 second long beep and then not open. Glass panel is closed. No obstructions. I even reset the lift gate button in the glove compartment. Any ideas?
Time to bring in to service in my opinion
Try pbd adjustment in the MID settings
🙁 I’ve closed the window, I’ve pushed/reset the glove compartment hatch on/off button, I’ve gone to vehicle settings - no joy. Any other suggestions?
Hmmm time for service
There is a button inside the glove compartment. That fixed my problem.
Ah forgot about that button sorry! Mostly used by service. Glad it was solved.
My 2015 Highlander the back hatch is opening only with the key fab or pressing the button in the back it is not opening when I press the button inside the vehicle by the steering wheel it beeps but it does not open I’ve checked the window opened it and closed it tight still not working any suggestions thank you
I think there’s a button in your glove box you can push
You're the best
Thanks Laura!
Can you do a video on a 4runner sr5 premium 2022
Of course!
Looking for a 22 rav 4 hybrid in cavilary blue nothing in my area northen new jersey 😓
We did a factory order for that specific vehicle a month ago and the customer just got the news that Toyota is building it for them. If you have approx 8-10 weeks to get what you want, I may be able to help you.
Did not work. Got any other ideas. Window is closed, did that before. Still won't open, still here 2 beeps and nothing happens.
Go to your settings
ua-cam.com/video/V_dsi8m_evQ/v-deo.html
(Scroll to 01:48 in that video)
This video should help
And see if the PBD is turned off.
Did you try the button in the glove compartment? On the left side, inside.
What about for a 2012 Venza??
I would go to the MID settings and check your PBD opening setting to see if it is on
I bought my highlander new in 2016 for $42,000 and I never knew that back hatch window opened.
😳
Waiting for the sequoia
Me too!! Toyota isn’t even building a single one for us yet..
I tried this and mine still didn’t open, what should I do?
I believe there is a button inside glove box to assist. But before that, try turning the car on, and unlocking all doors first. Let us know what works!
@@brianrupertiThanks for your quick response, I’ve tried the latter before now and it didn’t work, what button are you talking about in the glove box?
How about on a 2020 that doesn’t have pop glass ?
No more pop glass
@@brianruperti no shoot Batman. I’ve got one that tries to open. Has a burst of force and then gives up and stays closed
@@deansheridan I read the question as if you were asking if the 2020s have the pop glass. Check your PBD adjustment in the MID settings
@@brianruperti it won’t even open. It tries... it beeps. It pops the lock. Then doesn’t move. And relocks itself.
I love UA-cam.
My mom was just chewing me out telling me I broke her door it won't open just goin off on me. So I looked up videos found this and told her just hang on this guy in video is about to tell us how to fix it she had no patience
🤣🤣Did it fix it?
@@brianruperti yes
i have an issue with this but in toyota rav4 2017
Thank you
