Excellent video. One hint. after reinstallation, If the rods don't move to open the tailgate, it may be that the tailgate is locked. Unlock it,, and it should be fine. That's what happened to me. Otherwise, the removal/reinstallation was smooth. The step-by-step video was clear and remarkably useful..
Watched the video, ordered the part from 1A after it didn't arrive I called 1A and found out due to autofill on my computer that the address was slightly wrong so instead of the post office sending it back, the geniuses THREW IT AWAY! Instead of returning it to 1A (smh). 1A was kind enough to send me another at no cost to me. With the help of this video, had it done in about 20 minutes. Thank you 1A, great company and great video. I'll be ordering from you guys again!!
Thank you for this. I am one non mechanical son of a gun but with this excellent instruction I just replaced my handle in my ‘02 Tundra. Thank you again!
I can't say enough about how great these 1A Auto videos are. Great photography, every step clearly explained with a link to the parts you need. This took me 10 minutes to do and my tailgate locking mechanism - which was getting finicky before it failed completely - is like new.

Thank you! My handle broke and I need to move a washer & dryer so removing the panel is quick n easy. Can't believe Toyota used cheap plastic handles!!
I had never watched one of your videos until tonight. I watched because I had replaced my lock assembly a couple of years ago and everything went fine. A couple of days ago I locked the tailgate with the ignition key and now it won't unlock. I watched the video to see what kind of bit I needed to take the bed liner off and it was right there in print at the beginning of the video. A T30 Torx and I just got home from Lowe's and didn't get any torx bits but I will tomorrow. Your lady is as smooth as glass, maybe ice, and knows from whence she speaks. You are lucky to have her. Thank you again.
The plastic tailgate handle broke on my 2006 Tundra. The Toyota Dealer wanted $150 for the part and $115 for labor. I bought the black (not color matched) replacement latch fpr under $40 and tried to replace it myself. Thr Torx fasteners stopped me cold because I didn't havr thr right bit. I watched this video, with the tool and misc. stuff needed and showed exactly how to do the job. I got the right size Torx bit and swapped it out in 15 minutes. Thanks 1AAUTO.

Thanks, I’m not all that handy. Helps to watch someone else before I attempt.
Best video out there to replace the tailgate handle for an early model Tundra! Luckily I got 15 years out of my stock handle until it bit the dust a few days ago. I swapped it out today with a new one in less than 10 mins! Thank you!!!
+CrazyBotBuilder Thanks for checking us out! 1AAuto.com
Thank you so much for this tutorial. My dealership was going to charge me to the tune of $500 to do this. I ended up getting ‘er done at a cost of $50ish (cost of parts). Easy to follow. Have a blessed one.
Thanks for an excellent tutorial, we got the job done in just a few minutes!
I bought the part, watched the video, and was able to replace the tailgate handle in less than 15 minutes. I am in no way mechanically inclined, but you made this easy.
+@russellstringer2176 Thank you for your order! We'd love to hear about your experience. Here's a link to leave us a review on Google: goo.gl/i5JFNY
It looked intimidating when it came in the mail today. No instructions. Found you guys a on the RUclips and I had installed in minutes. Your very clear and helpful. Your biggest fan.
Sue, gotta say always happy to watch your videos, cause I know the infos gonna be clear and effective. Have a great day!
Thank you for this video. This worked just right! My 2002 Tundra tailgate handled broke very suddenly. Lucky for me, it was in the upright/closed position. Found this video, ordered the 1A Auto part after gasping over the OEM part pricing, and dear hubby had it installed in about 15 minutes. No bed liner in ours. We did take one bolt and washer off of the seal plate first, and made a visit to the hardware store first to buy 8 nylon washers because all of ours were cracked from age. We did get simple basic black instead of trying to color match our pretty red truck. But at 22 years on the road, the black looks just fine!
Thanks guys! For the part and the instruction, only took me 20 mins or so and that's with the lock not seating properly.
+Ricky Al Thanks for the feedback!
Best Toyota Tundra How-To's out there, and you have all the parts!

Great, straightforward video. Took me a bit longer since the handle being replaced was broken and those two nuts didn't want to come off, but it was still pretty fast. Thanks!
Just completed mine and had to adjust the lock to make it work. Evidently i thought the old one was stuck it looks like it was locked. Flipped the lock on reinstalled and it works great.
+@ThomasManning-cm6ez Thanks for checking us out! 1aau.to/m/Shop-1AAuto-c
Thank ya'll. Bought the handle from you because of this video. Easy to put in!
So how do you do this if it's failed and the tailgate is stuck closed vs open? The latch assembly, does yours include the bolt for holding it in? I believe mine fell out because the current handle is very wiggly.
Thanks so much! My latch is cracked from Tx sun, so I can’t open it, but it looks like I can still do it while it’s closed. You make it look easy 👍

Toyota superiority proven every day. Thanks for the video.
I agree with others commenting, y’all are my go-to for working on my tundra. No one else except amateurs have videos for these cars. Do a detailed timing belt video for the v8 please!!!!!!!
+BigRigg We're always cycling through common cars. We'll add this repair to our list! 1aau.to/m/Shop-1AAuto-c
This video was very helpful. I was able to fully replace this part with basic tools.
Surprisingly well done video. One of the better I’ve found looking around. Many thanks!
Wow, excellent vid with clear, simple instructions. Thanks! Now I can probably save myself about $100 in labor.
+Wildheart Wanders Thank you for your positive feedback! We are happy we could help.
And the $100 in the part if you bought it from 1A.
Video watched, instructions followed and part installed. Thank you.
This is excellent. Thank you for the clear explanation and the great video. I am sorry that I didn't order this particular part from you (I hadn't heard of you then!), but I will plan to do so in the future in gratitude for your help. I am planning to drive my18-year-old, 83,000-mile Tundra forever, so replacing something like this is a huge help.
+David Fenton Thank you! We love empowering our customers and showing how to perform DIY auto repairs with our high-quality auto parts. 1AAuto.com
Gotta love You Tube. Thanks for the video.
Basically broke apart the plastic housing to get the original lock out but still went smoothly. Thanks for the help!
+Ray Wright Thanks for checking us out. Shop here for high quality auto parts: 1aau.to/m/Shop-1AAuto-c
SUCCESS! Super easy, by following this video! The only hard part for me was removing the rusty bolts holding the old handle in place. WD-40, time and bit of banging and a good wrench resulted in successful removal of the 2 bolts. THANK YOU FOR SAVING ME $ and building confidence for DIY jobs!
Thanks for checking us out. 1aauto.com +Udo Wahn
The best video I've seen lately. Excellent.
+Phaedra Backer Thanks for checking us out! 1aau.to/m/Shop-1AAuto-c
At the moment I have one bolt of the pair that I need to replace. One bolt holding it in until I locate one. This would be an even better product if they would include the 2 bolts threaded into the replacement handle. It makes sense that the original bolts are at the end of life if the replacement handle is necessary. All in all, great part, great video.
Thanks so much, just replaced mine in about 10m, great instructional video.
+Juan Merida Thank you! We love empowering our customers and showing how to perform DIY auto repairs with our high-quality auto parts. 1aau.to/m/Shop-1AAuto-c
Thank you ! Perfect explanation and demonstration
+Gerald Donaghy Thank you very much!
Sweet. Mine finally broke. Thank you for this.
Clear easy video. thanks.
What was the whole "take the opportunity to spray" part starting at 6:17? She didn't indicate what she was spraying or what it would help do.
J S I just sprayed white lithium grease on everything with moving parts
Thanks for the video!
I broke off the 16 year old plastic handle trying force it up, therefore the need to get this.This was great! Well done video presented nice and slow to be able to follow it. Looks like it is easy for a DIY job! I just ordered the part and it was a great discounted price on 1AAuto.com.
+Udo Wahn Thank you!
Hey Udo, did you do this with the tailgate up or down? My handle is broken so I can't put the gate down. Got any tips?
Word to the wise: Take the cover off and lube the mechanism before it gets that hard again. (I'm here because I just bought a used truck that had a broken handle when I got it.)
Can this be done with the tailgate up? I can't put it down because the handle is broken.
Remove the black cover on the inside of the bed tailgate. 1 Lock top left and 1 Lock top right inside the tailgate door. Pull both locks and the tailgate should come free.
I replaced mine yesterday. The tailgate was down but I don't think there would be any reason you couldn't do it with it up. Be very careful not to drop the screws that hold the latch into the tailgate. It would be easy to do that with the tailgate up. If you happen to have magnetic socket inserts this would be a good time to use one. Obviously, once the handle is replaced you'd probably want to put the tailgate down to finish replacing the screws that secure the cover.
Yes. Just remove the liner from inside the truck bed (if you have one) first, Unhook the 2 long steel rods from the plastic hooks . Take out the 2 bolts and remove old handle. Use the steel rods to open gently.
Fantastic. Thank you.
Thanks for the video
Thank you
My handle is snapped, not sure how I am going to open the bed, any ideas?
same
Good video!
You guys carry 2011 tailgate handle with camera? And a video on how to replace that?
would the quality be better on this $40.00 replacement than the $13.00 handle on amazon?
That's a nice ratcheting tool . What is it, I've have not seen this tool before.
Hi great video I ordered the new latch but the left pull kept coming off everytime when I was pulling the latch
Do you guys sell the rods that clip into the handle and run to either side?
What do I do if the handle came loose and I am unable to put down the tailgate
I’d like to know what those rods are called. I need replacement left and right rod.
Just ordered this part from 1A auto because of there videos! I would love to leave you guys great reviews on your website from the other parts I bought but found it impossible to be able to do so. I just get a message that says your email address is recognized but it won’t let me leave reviews of the products I purchase. Thanks for the videos and the great parts!
Something got slammed into the right side catch, so this is going to be the third time the latch has to be replaced. How do you fix that? Body buckled a little like a pole or handle was inside between tailgate and back of bed. Hammer wood against it to flatten the buckle, or clamp it straight with rubber to protect new paint job?
Which socket wrench is being used in this video?
thank so much you. i think i can do that. but i don't trust me too far on repairing anything.
What is the name of that tool you are using with the pivoting head, what brand name. I need one for my toolbox.
What kind of spray are you using? Why was the label off the can of spray?
Ab Abner I used white lithium grease spray on mine
Do I need to transfer over a locking mechanism for the handle to function?
I replaced it and it still won’t open like idk cause the trunk has a huge dent from an accident makes it not open please help
My handle snapped and one of the latch rods popped out I’m not sure where it attaches back
What type of ratchet is that you're using?
Is there somewhere you can buy the little plastic pieces that clip onto the metal rods? I broke one of mine and don't want to go but the entire new hinge. Thanks!
+Tommy Richards Thanks for checking us out! Try searching a local parts store. We do not carry them for the vehicle shown in this video.
Saved me 100s of dallors
Can this fit a l touring wagon
+young Boyce As long as the parts fit for the additional specifications listed it should be able to work.
@@1AAuto do you all sell toyota corolla l touring wagon parts
+young Boyce We do sell Toyota Corolla touring parts
Plastic clips ?!!No wonder mine broke. Cheap way to do it. Like how the spray can label is gone. Is that WD 40,lithium grease or what ?
You make me believe that as a total, and I mean TOTAL, novice, that this is something I can do. I do a lot of diy, but have never tried doing things on our vehicles. So, here I go...
+joan holladay Thanks for checking us out! 1AAuto.com
What kind of rachet is that ?
+Mike Scott Swivel head ratchet
Helpful. Thanks.
