The best video instructions out there. Saved me so much money on taking it in to a shop. Husband didn't think I could do it, but totally proved him wrong. Lol
Thanks Awzkar, super helpful. My daughter and I made this exact fix and watching saved us from destroying clips and we would never have thought to know to slide the window in the gasket and track. not easy but it worked!
In my case (2003 Highlander), the track fell off the bottom of the window entirely, both the gasket and metal frame. They were somewhat oily feeling, so I washed them and also the bottom of the window before tapping them back into place. I greased the track where the green plastic piece fits, attached the regulator, and all is good again. Note that I also sprayed silicone spray into the vertical window tracks so that the regulator doesn't have to pull so hard to get the window to move. Again, SILICONE SPRAY the vertical tracks - an important step!!
This was the exact problem on my 2005 Highlander on the exact same door! The window was a little tough to slide, but once it moved about an inch the arm stayed on the track! I probably saved a couple hundred dollars by finding this video!! Thanks!
Thanks! I had to reconnect the rear window on a 2001 Toyota Highlander, and your instructions were perfect, from beginning to end. My trim on the bottom of the window had slid over, exactly like you explained, allowing the lift arm to disconnect from the track. After I got the track connected, I raised the window half way, and put an open end wrench over the trim, and tapped with a hammer until it was back where it belonged.
Thank you saved me a lot of money simple fix to my window issue, mine was all the way down so i was able to retrieve it and apply a temporary to perm fix without replacing parts as long as i want my window fully up.
Without question the best video on this topic. The only part that was not clear was how you shifted the bar over. What I ended up doing was using a wooden dowel and a rubber mallet and gently tapping it over it took about 2 minutes and everything was lined up perfectly.
You are the Man thank you I fixed the window three times and never realized the base slid back almost an 1 1/2”! That was the key! Super happy cause the other side did the same thing yesterday! 👍✌️
My 5 year old hung on to the window while saying by to her friend and knocked the track off about an inch. I followed the instructions and got it back in place. It's a little tricky but I was able to push the track forward very slowly with a thick branch. I was afraid to break the window so I juiced the front and back of the track with wd40. Made a mess but made it work. Thank you!
Thank you for an excellent presentation of how to fix a window that has feel off the tracks. I follow your steps easily and got the job done just fine and the window is working fine!
Thanks for sharing this how to; along with a couple more videos from other RUclips video help, I was able to fix my 2002 highlander rear driver side power window. Thanks for the tips
Thank you! I didn't get into the issues with the track (long day) but I was able to get the window rolling back up. Guess I should expect to have another go with this one soon.
Gabriel! YOU ROCK! You da man!! I have this same car and window glass of both front and rear windows came off the track. I was able to fix the front one this past week with the video you shared. That worked. Thank you Thank you ...this weekend I will do the rear one as well. You are the best man on this earth - God bless you bro
It is heating up in Phoenix and wind noise with a rear window stuck open is not good. Your very clear instructions and tips made the job of fixing the window very easy. Thank you!
Fixed mine today. Got the green square back on the track, sprayed the rubber seal and metal channel with WD40 then slid the metal channel a couple of inches toward the drivers seat using leverage from my pry tool to get it back completely over the rubber seal so it's lined up. Thank you.
You don’t even necessarily need to take any of the bolts off. Just slide the window bottom support further away from the up/down arm, push the arm with the small square just a bit forward into the slot and then slide that bottom support slot back into the square. Then just push the support slot until it’s a couple inches past the square.
Awesome dude! You are a ROCKSTAR! I sent 2 hours trying to figure out what the problem was and when my arms were about to fall off from holding the windoe up and maneuvering the stabilizer gear thing AND trying to hold the door panel up while connected to rest a million times! I took a break and search the web to find your video and Voila! Bingo! That was my problem and imoved the track back into place using a 2 foot piece of narrow boeard to slide the track into alignemnet. BANG! DONE! Thanks so much my friend!
Thanks for showing this, I looked at other examples and your s was by far the most easy to follow and come job with a solution to prevent happening again. Great job!
Nick Wenzl the only thing that may fail is the actual window regulator but thats an easy fix (: ours went bad so be on the lookout for that install vid! Thanks for the feedback!
Fixed the window on my 2006 highlander with your help! Thank you so much! I actually fixed it with the metal panel still on there, I lost my 11mm socket so I had to fix it at the bottom. Still worked, little more cramped.
Great video. Just fixed both passenger side windows. The only thing though that might suggest is that you don't need to lubricate the rubber. I decided to carefully use a screw driver through one of the access holes near the top to get leverage and slowly push the track metal. The reason is the lubricant may make it slide too easy and out of position and wd40 on rubber is not good unless you want cracks down the road. Otherwise great video!
Thanks for sharing. I fixed mine myself this time. It has happened twice already. Today I duck-taped both end side of bracket to prevent falling off again. Cross my fingers~
FYI you don’t have to take the regulator off if you start by putting the track on the window first. Just put it on a little further towards the front of where it needs to be. Then using the up button fiddle with alignment until the green square gets started in the track. Holding both ends of the track you can slide it on the regulator square until you are lined up in the right spot. I did this successfully without taking the regulator off.
Hmmm, try as I might I just couldn't do it w/out removing the motor assembly. May have to do with the year. Mine was a 2001. But thank you for your input.
@@joec2015 mine is a 2001 Highlander. I probably didn’t explain it well enough. I was able to do it without. As long as you got it done is all that matters.
I have had the exact same problem for two years in the exact same door. I have a 2005 Highlander and have not been able to use the window in two years. Thanks for the help.
I need to perform this task for my highlander as well but what I will attempt to do is put a small amount of silicone on the ends of the window track. Thank you for your time
top class video! need to fix both of my rear windows! it had this issue almost a year now did not have a good video, will try it out soon and post back here!
Xlnt Video my Man! will help the task ahead of me tremendously, Thanx! [ it seems to be the weakest thing on Highlanders both my back windows went out as well.]
Here trying to fix the car window before my husband gets home because my dog touched the window button and window fell when he told me not to touch the back windows!!!!!
I have the same question, I saw another video where the fella used RTV to "glue" the window in place to the track and seal so it can't slide out of position. This makes logical sense to me, it would seem like the WD-40 would make it more prone to happen again, no?
Make sure that the rubber groove is lubricated thoroughly and grab a flat head and a hammer ( you can try using some gloves to try to man handle it to move into place) but gotta see how much distance the tracks and the rubber groove have. Also if you try the hammer and flathead Be very carful to not hit the window Just tap it into place till its nice and flush Hope this helps. I really wish i had my tripod when i made this vid. Probably will make a vid soon.
8:49 i ended up putting a open side of a wrench to it and hitting it with a hammer, to slide it back into place. Some damage to the end of that metal piece but nothing seeable
Off topic but same car so I'll axe. The entire climate control module stopped working on my Highlander about a week ago. No lights come on, the fan switch does nothing. Any hints as to what it might be and or how to fix it?
I would try checking out the fusebox if not maybe theres a short somewhere🤷🏾♂️ if you had a mechanic work on your car maybe they didnt plug something right, the highlander is a pretty old car now, our highlander got 200k on the clock and its def starting to show its age!
Капец... Как так можно... Грязнючими руками снимать светлую дверную карту, варварски подлазить плоской отвёрткой под пластик когда нужно это делать пластиковой лопаткой. Сразу видно не для себя делает.

Your husbands a fool! Where you at?!
Good video. Thanks.
Would not have known the window shifted and thats why it came off the track, unless i saw this vid.
Very much appreciated, sir
Thanks Awzkar, super helpful. My daughter and I made this exact fix and watching saved us from destroying clips and we would never have thought to know to slide the window in the gasket and track. not easy but it worked!

I’m here because my mechanic wanted to charge me $412 per window meanwhile a window regulator goes for $30 online 🤣 thanks for the help bud
Although I really pretty much knew how to do it, it always pays to see someone else’s tips and thanks!
Thanks for the walkthrough! Fixed my car.
Awesome video! It was a big help when fixing my wife’s rear passenger window. Saved me a lot of headache and money! 👍🏻
glad I could help thats why I made this vid!
Wow, this just saved me a lot of work.
Followed your instructions, my window now working 😊 thank you
Thanks for posting. Great hints. Saved me a trip to the mechanic.
Thank you so much! I actually fixed the window myself thanks to your video!! I really appreciate it
Thanks dude. Saved me couple hundred fixing that window. Track slid out of place just like you said, and wd40 allowed it to slide back .

Excellent. Worked. Thanks.
Thankyou brother, used the video to fix both of my gfs back windows on her 04 highlander!
Good stuff man! Glad you fixed your windows 👍🏼
Won't the WD40 just make the lower track more likely to slide out of place again? Still super helpful. Thanks!!
Dude, What a great video!! What a fix!!! Thanks!!!!!!

Very good.
The green square piece keeps sliding out of the track...how do I keep that in place?
Bro forgot step one….find the 10 mm🤣
A task easier said than done
Thanks.
Here trying to fix the car window before my husband gets home because my dog touched the window button and window fell when he told me not to touch the back windows!!!!!
When the windows are off the tracks...will the window kind of sink down or no?
It will sink i had that issue
After this fix, how do you keep the window from sliding out of alignment again, especially since you lubricated it?
I have the same question, I saw another video where the fella used RTV to "glue" the window in place to the track and seal so it can't slide out of position. This makes logical sense to me, it would seem like the WD-40 would make it more prone to happen again, no?

Make sure that the rubber groove is lubricated thoroughly and grab a flat head and a hammer ( you can try using some gloves to try to man handle it to move into place) but gotta see how much distance the tracks and the rubber groove have.
Also if you try the hammer and flathead Be very carful to not hit the window
Just tap it into place till its nice and flush

Awazkar- Whats your location as I am looking for a 2006 Toyota Highlander to buy. Do you have one for sale.= White or Silver
