This is a great idea and for the owners of Toyota trucks a welcomed improvement on something that was poorly thought out. These are made out of aluminum and I would say they are lighter,30 times stronger than the plastic they replace. I have a 2001 tundra and I did have to drill out the holes to 11/64th. Worked great. If you follow the Video on You Tube, you can't go wrong. Removal and Installation was easier haven seen the video. Thanks for that. Product was great shipping great and price was good especially for an item that is better than what you would get from the Toyota parts desk. Review: a perfect permanent replacement Toyota access cab rear window hinge - Everyone who has an access cab Tacoma or Tundra is going to need these because the original factory plastic hinges on their will eventually become brittle and break. Read the tips that the numerous other reviewers have described and pick the method you feel most comfortable with and installation is a breeze. I had my broken plastic hinge replaced with the new metal hinge in under 15 minutes from start to finish. I found it easier to remove the screw that holds the latch bracket to the glass before attempting to remove and replace the broken plastic hinge. I used a screw thin enough to press the small metal pins holding the broken part out of the latch usong channel lock pliers. No hammer or punch needed. Dont lose the pins! You must reuse them since the new hinges do not ship with new pins. They are very small and if you drop them you may never find them. Then just make certain the hook on the new part faces the same direction as the old one did then press the small metal pins back in their respective holes using the pliers. Reattach the bracket to the glass with the screw you removed earlier and you are done. Easy peasy! My new window latch works as well as the original with no high pressure car wash leakage or wind noises. ## Images ![Dasher Deals Billet Aluminum Latch Pivot for First Gen Tacoma Tundra Rear Quarter Window (Pair) - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/61q38d0z4yL._AC_UF894,1000_QL80_.jpg) ![Dasher Deals Billet Aluminum Latch Pivot for First Gen Tacoma Tundra Rear Quarter Window (Pair) - Image 2](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/61q38d0z4yL._SS80_.jpg) ![Dasher Deals Billet Aluminum Latch Pivot for First Gen Tacoma Tundra Rear Quarter Window (Pair) - Image 3](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/61q38d0z4yL.jpg) ![Dasher Deals Billet Aluminum Latch Pivot for First Gen Tacoma Tundra Rear Quarter Window (Pair) - Image 4](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/61zCFIhejnL._AC_UF894,1000_QL80_.jpg) ![Dasher Deals Billet Aluminum Latch Pivot for First Gen Tacoma Tundra Rear Quarter Window (Pair) - Image 5](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/61zCFIhejnL._SS80_.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ This is a great idea and for the owners of Toyota trucks a ... *by M***L on November 6, 2014* These are an item in which you don't realize how important such a small item means to your truck.

I was unfortunate enough to be one of those people. If anyone is keeping track, 2001 Tundra. Long story short I needed to use an 11/64 drill bit to open the holes up to be the appropriate size for my pins. Before I found that bit of information, I started to try and install following the directions from the video. This resulted in one of my latches having the new aluminum piece in it and the pin having been hammered 1/2 way down and not going any further and not being able to retrieve it out as well. I wrote to Dasher Deals for help around 10pm and had a reply by 10am. Essentially telling me to step up the hole size I went and got another bit. Doing the 11/64 on the other aluminum piece I had I was able to open the holes and do a clean install in less than 15 minutes for one side. Being careful of the truck attached piece I let some WD40 soak on the pin for a minute and wiggled it around before trying to extract it. I used a punch as well but only used the side of the hammer from the inside of the doors as minimal amounts of force were needed and this prevented any deformation from occurring on that part. After getting one done correctly I went back to the stuck piece. Not being able to extract the pin and cleanly bore out the hole I decided to just try and go through the plastic latch piece as well. I did this very slowly and with a lot of lubrication. After feeling that I bored it out enough and cleaning the shavings off I was able to get that other side installed as well. Although the pin is not 100% in it still works perfectly and if I really wanted to I could cut the excess off. Through all of this I wrote to JJ, the seller, twice. Both times prompt replies and nothing but sorrow for my difficulty and offers to help. I won't go into detail everything JJ offered because it was so far above what I would have expected for a pair of $15 replacement parts. Despite being part of the 2% that are having problems with these, I would still recommend this for anyone that has their latches not working. If your pins are giving you a lot of trouble going back in, stop trying to force it and get an 11/64" bit to bore it out and then you will have the experience that JJ built these for. Also, if you have any problems be sure to write to the them as I would bet from my experience that every customer is treated like this and that JJ really believes in his product and guarantees it to the point where he could have lost money helping me but still was going to back up his product. I wish every transaction with a hiccup could be this good in resolution.
