A Must For All 1st Gen Tundra Broken Window Lock/Latch Owners
I was told by the dealership that they would need to completely remove the entire back access door plastic trim (armrest, speaker enclosure, etc) in order to replace the entire window lock assembly for $500 per side and takes about 5 hours of labor. I found these Godsends through a Facebook 1st Gen. Tundra Owners Group. There are a few How-To videos on YouTube showing how to tap the pins out and swap out the broken plastic arms. Each side took 10 minutes tops! I’m not the most handy person either and it was super easy. I highly recommend this product. These aluminum latch arms fit the factory latch parts perfectly. Super solid and will most likely last forever.

Easy to install and works perfectly
The dealer wanted $75.00 for the window latch, I got this for less the $10.00. It was super easy to install ans works great. I highly recommend.

Saved me money instead of replacing the entire lock
Anyone who's been looking for replacement locks don't need to spend 40+ bucks trying to replace the window venting locks. I used these for my 2000 toyota tundra that i bought from my father and he used gorilla glue and tape to hold the window shut. It comes with the two replacement hinge and one metal pin. Use the metal pin to bang out the pin holding the broken hinge. Be careful tapping it out as it takes a bit of force to hit the pin out. Start lightly until the pin begins to release, then you might have to bang harder and then pull out; something I wish my dad did when he decided to have me.Great product, highly recommend

Fixed Latch
I have a 2002 Tundra Limited. A few years back I replaced the passenger side latch with an OEM part (pricey). For the driver's side I decided to try this kit. Pins are a tight fit and directional, but with a little time and finesse was able to get the job done. Not sure what folks mean regarding break-in. Fits snugly, no vibration, no whistle or leaks. Will use again if needed...but doubtful no longer made of plastic.

2004 Tacoma
Absolute perfect replacement for my 2004 Tacoma. Installation was pretty easy and now my back vent windows actually open and close properly.

A quick and cheap, hopefully permanent fix
I own a 2002 Toyota Tundra extra cab. It's got a lot of miles on it (225K) and I expect some things to start to break. My kid was in the back messing with the window and the hinge broke. OEM is between $40 to $50 and you would have to remove the door panel to install it. I saw this product and hoped for the best. I unscrewed the window glass side of the broken hinge because I didn't want to rish breaking the window, so I wanted it disconnected from the glass. I punched out the pin on the door frame side with the pin removal tool provided and a hammer. For the pin that was in the other part of the hinge, I punched it out with the provided tool on a vise. It's easier if you don't push the pin out all the way. Just push it out enough to remove the broken part. I had to use a C-clamp to push back in the pin on the piece nearest the window glass, but it was easy enough. The other pin I gently tapped back in with a hammer. The whole process took about 15 minutes but only because I was taking my time and going slow. It would have taken longer to remove the door panel and replace a whole hinge assembly. Plus if you don't know what you're doing you're bound to break some fasteners removing the door panel. Also this product includes 2 identical hinge parts, one for each side, so if you want you can replace them both or just store the extra one for when the other side breaks. The whole process was actually enjoyable and the glass latches shut perfectly now. Of course I expect this part to last the life of the truck now as it's made of metal and not plastic, so it should actually be an improvement over OEM.I buy tons of stuff from Amazon and never write these reviews ( very rarely) because I don't have the time. But I was very impressed by this product and wanted to support it. With this kit you can fix 2 door window hinges in less than a half an hour for $10! It would cost near $100 from Toyota and you would still have 2 plastic hinge pieces, not aluminum like these. If you are handy at all or know someone who is and can help you, this is a no brainer. I would buy it again, but I'm pretty sure I won't have to! Thanks to whoever made this do-dad.

Best fix
Really did solve the problem. From plastic to metal. Pins for perfect, no need to drill anything. Clicks closed just like other one. Color match icing on the cake. 10 minute job max.

incredibly easy
The pop out windows were broken for some time on our 2002 Toyota Tacoma extra cab. Our dog loved to stick her nose out those windows. I happened to see these repair pieces and thought I would try them. How incredibly easy it was to replace them using the provided push pin and a pair of Channel Locks !! I used a pair of Channel Locks like a bearing press, adjusting as the roll pin started to move. Don't push the pin all the way out, just half way to allow the broken piece to be removed. Then press the roll pin back through the replacement piece. You don't have to worry about possibly breaking something with a hammer. 15 minutes I fixed both sides. Great idea, great product, great fit !
