I had some one brake in to my 1994 4runner about a month ago, they broke the small triangular vent window and I am trying to put a new one in my self (pore collage student). This is going to sound dum but i cant seam to get the internal door panel off because of the handle. If you have dealt with this before I would greatly appreciate your help!


Thanks for the tip 884runner but they are power locks and windows.\


That sounds good DeathCougar but the problem is the handle is the only thing left holding the door panel on, This model dose not have any screws in the arm rest. I can pull the panel back just to see that the handle is the only thing still attached. I am at work right now so it is hard for me to picture just popping it forward because it so tight that and I have already pull like the dickens on it short of breaking anything.

Is it manual door locks and windows? If so, just take the screw out and push the latch forward, then pull it out.

You have to remove the two plastic plugs in the armrest. Then there are two screws underneath that.

The inner pull handle (to open the door) also has one screw in it. Pull the screw, then pop the handle forwards then out. Pop the plastic clip off the metal rod, and the handle will come off.

Once you have those three screws off, the panel should pop off. Be sure to use a panel removal tool, or hard putty knife to pry it out, to avoid breaking clips.

btw it doesn't matter power or manual windows, they both come apart the exact same. Only difference is the window crank on the manual window trucks.
