ah. second time nice

The first one was broken so I had to send a replacement. Revane sent a second; I installed it and it fixed the problem. It doesn't have a servo that actually switches the lock, but luckily the one I had still worked.

Pros
  • Few competitors
Cons
  • Mostly good but...

Did the product last less than 2 months?

Product installed and everything works great! Then a few weeks later the door stopped working. I had to completely disassemble the door again to find the product had fallen apart! So I have to decide if I want to try and buy it again or just pay extra money to Toyota and get it from them.

Pros
  • Good product for the price
Cons
  • Annoys me

The locking mechanism died after a few months and the rest fell apart after 9 months.

Installed with minimal problems and worked for several months. Then the quick lock. After 9 months the spot welds burst and the hatch would not open. No corrosion, just poor design and workmanship. Buying a genuine Toyota part costs $40 more. The design is still poor, but hopefully the build quality will improve. Only use this part if you plan to sell the car soon and you don't like the buyer!

Pros
  • Enjoyable
Cons
  • Other Other

Type of work - engines

Such work but I am not very happy with their work. We installed it and it worked fine. A few months later we had problems with the tailgate locking mechanism again. I'm not sure if that part was the problem. We went with an official Toyota part instead and it was well worth the extra money. Toyota was more durable and better prepared for lubrication. We should have just skipped that and gone to the official Toyota first. Would save many hours.

Pros
  • Decent performance
Cons
  • Will be added later

Sunroof locks like new again

Perfect fit. Looks identical to the existing Toyota part on my 2003 Sequoia. In total it took 45 minutes to remove the inner door hatch panel, remove the old part and install the new one. Tools used: a pry bar to remove the plastic trim, a Phillips screwdriver, a 10mm socket and needle nose pliers. The sunroof snaps into place like new. Watch the YouTube video before you start. Installation will be pleasant and fast if you work together with your favorite friend on Biennial Update (12/2019)…

Pros
  • The best in its niche
Cons
  • Expensive insurance
