Review on Keyhole Tailgate Latch Handle for 2007-2013 Toyota Tundra, Replaces# 69090-0C040, 690900C040, 81213 by Glenn Rodgers

The engineer who designed this part at Toyota should retire. He brought great shame on himself and his ancestors. The bearing part lasted 8 years. I got a replacement TA here at Revain and it lasted 2 years. Just installed these today. Installation is simple - remove the panel in the gate, unscrew the old one, rearrange the lock, snap the door handles into place. The clips on this replacement are made of hard plastic. Installed and checked, one of the clips shattered. Hm. It's okay, it looks like a common thing because they put two extra clips in the box! Let me insert this carefully and. cracked! After my craftsman Tourette took over control, which makes me swear by the cheap hardware, I carefully removed the slightly higher-quality clips from the old bolt and gave in a bit. It's working fine now, but I'm not sure how long it will last.
