    There are no toyota mechanics on here, they all drive Chevy and Ford, you can find them posting on those forums.

    Relating to the molding? Or just in general?

    I don’t trust dealers much either but they’ll smoke your clutch doing a window repair? 31DF9CF2-FCE8-4E68-A1B1-E29336CB1229.jpg

    Read the manual, use the warranty!

    Or take advice from Internet wannabe backyard mechanics....

    So I've determined I must be missing all the inserts that hold the molding in place. After debate, I decided I'll let the dealer rip apart the doors to fix one problem to cause two others I'm sure. Here's what's missing. No one else here had this issue?

    Just an update, dealer fixed all four windows channels. All new parts. Tech said he could not see why the originals were bad, but new ones fit tight.
    Added bonus, they listened and did not wash my truck.
