I'm a 67 year old woman who never did anything like this before. I normally would have just brought it into the shop, but found your video so I decided I might as well try it on my own. Yay! I just replaced my 2003 Sienna rear door handle, thanks to this great video! Whoot whoo! Thank you!!!
That is so awesome! Glad the video was helpful. Thank you for watching and sharing!
Thank you, thank you, THANK YOU! I've never done anything with a car except drive it, fill it with gas, and check the oil basically, but thanks to you I replaced the handle myself and can open my trunk again! I was so bummed when the back handle broke. This mom of four greatly appreciates the use of the back door! I'm so happy! Thank you for this tutorial!
Katie Phillips i’m so glad to hear the video help you out. Thank you for sharing and watching!
Thank you. Your vídeo saved me from paying a lot of money.
Very detailed, thoughtful, and to the point presentation!
Keep it up! Thanks!
huuua2 thank you!
THANK YOU!! I just did mine with the help of your video. Now I can finally use my trunk again!
This is such a great instructional video. You explained it all so well, that it makes me wish you had someone to help you with the camera. Great job! Thank you.
@@silvanaribeiro8168 thank you!
I replaced this on my 98 sienna about 5 years ago and have to do it again. Your video is a great help. Thank you.
Sorry you have to do it again. Thank you for watching the video!
I just installed a new one today. Took me this long to get around to it. Thank you, again.
Thanks so much! Super easy but probably wouldn't have taken the door apart without this tutorial.
Clinton Randall glad the video was helpful. Thank you for washing!
I have watched many how-to videos on UA-cam for fixing all sorts of things and this one is the best! Great camera work and you explain in detail how to deal with some of the problems we might run into.
Thank you for sharing your expertise with us!
Stephen Ahola thank you! Glad to help.
Thank you for this concise and easy to follow instructional! You've saved me a headache and probably a scraped knuckle or two.
Hi my hero! Just replaced my back hatch handle of my 2001 Toyota. next project are both rear sliding doors - one broken handle and the other just won't open except for the initial click. I watched your video a couple of times and went and did it! Thank you so much!
SUSAN MYERS 2001 toyota door handles are miserable.
Great walk through
Thank you so much for this video!! We just paid $1000 in vet bills this month- saw your vid and ordered the part. You kept our family out of the red this month. Appreciate it very much!
DirtTrackHeroes wow I'm so glad I could help. Hope your pet is doing OK. Thank you for writing!
@@HowtoAutomotive if you still on can you respond
My tailgate handles arrived today and I have already installed it. Had to take one more look at the video but this video made it easy. It was spot on. I don't think it took more than 10 minutes with me taking my time and stopping to play with my dog. Great video.
Thanks for posting this, it saved me a ton of money by doing it myself instead of going to the dealer!
Eric Norris glad to help. Thank you for writing.
Thank you and may the Lord Jesus bless you and your family. your videos help me a lot
Thanks so much! Had a mechanic replace it a year ago ... but the plastic handle broke. I ordered a metal one this time, and your video showed how easy it was to do. Had it done in 25 minutes and I'm not mechanical at all.
H Black that’s awesome I’m glad the video helped. Thank you for watching!
What tools do I need. I looked at your video, you made it so simple. Thank you.
Wow, EXCELLENT video. Turns out there was a total of 3 10mm nuts. I had expected two, but the third took me a while to discover.
Brian, Excellent step-by-step with detailed explanations and clear close-up video. Thanks!
Roberto Camacho thank you! Glad to help!
Saved me a chunk of money from a dealer quote for this repair. Thanks a bunch.
Mike Cobb glad to help. Thank you for watching!
I've now had this break twice on my Sienna. The first time, the mechanic charged me for 4 hours of work because they claimed they couldn't open the gate to get at the mechanism. They told me this story where they had to fish a line in to get at the latch release. On this second time, I think I fixed it in about 40 minutes, and with a $12 part. Thanks.
Thanks I am going to try this for my 2002 sienna!
You got this! Thank you for watching!
Thank you!
Thanks so much for this video. This old lady was able to fix it solo. Saved me a lot of money.
K Jackson glad the video helped you fix your car and save you money. That’s what this channel all about. Thank you for watching!
Wanted to thank you for the step by step video, replaced my PLASTIC trunk latch for $8! Plus the plastic piece that broke is metal now 😁
Nice! Glad the video helped thank you for watching.
Thanks so much was able to replace the latch in 20 mins.
Awesome glad the video was helpful. Thank you for watching!
@@HowtoAutomotive of course 👍
thanks. I have this problem and will have to replace the latch. Thanks for the instruction.
Excellent video. 2nd time replacing the latch. First OEM one was plastic and broke, second one lasted about a year and the pressed pin holding the spring seemed to slip loosing tension.
KimballCody glad the video helped out. Thank you for watching!
thank you for this video!! made the whole process painless and probably saved me a couple hundred bucks by not taking it into the dealer.
I’m sure the video help you save some money. Glad it was helpful. Thank you for watching!
Thanks! This also helped for my 2000 RX300
Thank you, your video was very helpful and walked me through the process to success.
JAG G glad to help. Thank you for watching!
This video is amazing. Just replaced mine thanks to this video. Thumbs up!!! Thank you very much!!!
Edward Vakhovsky glad to help. Thank you for watching!
Thanks , Got to fix it fast.
We carry my handicapped son in our van often.What a mess if had he been on board when our latch had failed.
Thinking I'll address the problem with Toyota.
Loved your helpful advice.Thanks
Thanks for the video. I also replaced my rear handle, my problem is when I reinstall the cable with the ball on the end I put it in correctly and the snap in the cable where it has that small groumnet to hold it in place I test it several times and then after a day or so I can't open it again. I have had to pull the panel off three times and each time the cable keeps popping off the handle. Any suggestions?
In my opinion, that is the nicest color (sailfin blue pearl) on a 1998-03 Sienna. Excluding black and white.
Thank you - - worked just fine on my 2000 Sienna. I had to whittle away a bit of the white plastic notch that's on the little metal ball, since it was too tight to clip onto the new handle, but other than that, perfect!
Thank you for this video, it made replacing the handle very easy.
Thank you! I was going to take it to a shop but I used your video instead and finished it in about an hour and a half (including going to the auto parts store)
Joshua Cohen 2 cool glad the video helped. Thank you for watching!!
Thank you so much for this video. You helped me and my dad save a lot of money for this quick and easy fix. Thank you so much!!!

Amazing thanks I'm all thumbs but effected this repair in under an hour thanks to your video
My handle just broke and your video makes it look easy. What if the cable is broken? Is that easy too?
The cable is not that difficult to change and doing the handles most of the work

thanks very helpful video
DerpsonJIN glad to help. Thank you for watching!
thank you Brian
I watched your video after I installed a new all-metal handle from eBay. I found that after I closed the tailgate for a test, I couldn't get it to open again. I tried moving the lock mechanism from the inside but it still won't budge. I see you are monitoring this comment thread. Do you have any ideas? The battery drained during the time I was working on the car (I also replaced the driver's door handle and had my grandson in the van during the work. He turned on the headlights!...) Would the battery drain have anything to do with the locking mechanism? I tried to manually open the lock with my key and felt resistance when trying to do it.
Thanks for your video! It is clear and helpful with good closeups!
High Desert Tennis Association if the door lock doesn't work with the Remote button the actuator itself could be bad or unplugged. But if it doesn't open with the handle and the key then there's something is misadjusted or something is causing it to bind and stick. So you're going to need to pull that back panel back off and try to get in there with a flashlight and look around to see what's causing it. It could be the part itself. But like I said if it doesn't unlock with the remote key button then then check the servo motor. The servomotor maybe build into the latch itself not the handle. Hope this helps and thank you for watching.
very helpful video it did helped me
tatiroy23 glad to help

You are a life saver! Thank you!
The clips though, to order replacements, what do I call them to look for them please?
Bring them to an auto parts store...match them up
Thanks mate!
Thank you for watching!

festus nosa omorodion thank you!
So you can’t open that door with the key ? Or another way ?
Hey man great job. Thanks for your time in making this video. You save me over 300 bucks at my dealership. I had no idea how this whole thing had to work. Any chance of you doing one for a sunroof that doesn't completely close? LOL 1999 Sienna moon/sunroof
Thanks again
