I need to replace the tail gate window motor on my 86 4Runner, and from what ive read here the window motors in the doors are the same, but will a window door motor from a second gen 4Runner (90-95) work to replace the motor for my rear window ?.

 

Yes they are the same. Just make sure you get the drivers side.

 

is that true with the second gen 4runner rear window as well?

 

i though it was only passengerside door? or was it drivers? hmm..

 

So it has to be the driver side motor only ?, the passenger side window motor won`t work ?.

When I replaced mine on my 2nd gen I got it from a drivers door on a Camery. All the research said driver side passenger.

The motor has to be orientated like this...

 

Ok, so i can use a window motor from a 4Runner or camery, from the driver side of either vehicle, and it can be from the drivers door or passenger door. Im going to try and find one from a rear door because it will have alot less use than the drivers window.

 

whats up ,yes it will have less use have u thought about how much a rear window weigh's compared to a front camry/ less than 1/2 check on a after market at ur local parts house dont offten tell any one this but the motor after market will run same as junk yard insure you look the regulator over and greese good to in clude the tracks in door and window frame will make a mess will add muey life to motor this is my 6 1gen and i work at a toyota store as a tech

 

All the Right hand side motor part # are the same...

 

Do you think this little camry trick will work on 1st gen 4runners? Need to replace rear window motor on an 84 4runner.

 

Yes, it will work.
