Rear Door Latch Actuator with Cable for 2001-2007 Toyota Sequoia

Great product! Seems pretty good quality. I had an issue where my old latch was really hard to close. I had to slam the door shut to where I thought I would break something else. Once I replaced it with this new latch, it worked really well! It was relatively easy to replace and fitment was perfect! Now I don't have to slam the door to get it to latch properly. It fit my 2001 Toyota Sequoia LE great! I saw some reviews complaining about the release cable, but I just used my original cable and it worked great!

Another user figured this out and left it in their review. I didn't quite understand it until I started working on it myself. This part is well-made and fit my 2003 Toyota Sequoia 4.7L SR5. I had two problems when I first installed it, though, and they were both fixed the same way. First, the rear gate wouldn't latch solidly unless I really slammed it. Second, the lock wasn't working. Both were caused by the fact that the collar where the cable seats in this latch was slightly too far from the shoe where the end of the cable is. I don't know if this is the part's fault, or is a result of the aftermarket handle I've also installed. Will give this manufacturer the benefit of the doubt, though. It took me...too long to figure this out, but basically what was happening was that I'd had to pull on the cable to seat the collar part. What this did was pull a little cable out of the sheath. IT WAS LIKE SOMEONE WAS SQUEEZING DOWN ON THE TRUNK HANDLE JUST A LITTLE BIT. So, of course this prevented the lock from working -- it was like someone was holding the handle down. It also kept the trunk from closing properly -- it was like trying to close a door while someone is holding the latch down slightly. ***The solution was super simple: bend the metal part where the sheath's collar sits (illustration below) such that you're not having to PULL cable out in order to seat the end.*** That's it. I probably bent it a half inch with a pair of pliers and now the trunk on my 22-year-old Sequoia opens more crisply than ever before. It's like a new car! I figure this still deserves 5 stars because I don't know if I complicated things by installing my aftermarket handle. ***Obviously, this is just one guy's experience on one make from one year. Proceed with caution if you start bending your part, but that's what worked for me!***

Perfect fit

It works just fine once you get everything disassembled and replaced. However, the new pull cord is too long and caused the hatch to stay locked. After some fiddling, I was able to open the hatch and decided to reuse the original pull cord and everything is fine.

Bolted right up

Direct fit . I had to adjust the retainer clip out to work flawlessly.

This does not fit properly. First putting it on it all looks quite the same but when I ordered a different one it’s minor spacing details that really matter. This one would not let rhe ball cord that open the latch work properly it kept falling out of the space. Ordered proper one and fits perfect.

This product was a perfect fit, direct replacement. After I installed it, it seemed a little bit stiff to operate but it works well. It is a rugged product and might be even better than the original.

Easy to install

Es probable que se tenga que ajustar el soporte del cable que libera la cerradura por que queda un poco ajustado y no deja que se active el seguro
