2017 Rear Power Window replacement

I am trying to find a how to guide to replace the center section of my power rear window.

The dealer will not replace the window under the warranty even though it broke while closing it.

So I am trying to replace it myself and cannot get the new center section to go into the frame.

Anyone have a link that I missed in the search section?

 

Pics.

 

I found it on you tube but it wont link, if you type in, toyota tacoma rear window replacement, there are a couple videos.

 

I am just curious but why is not covered under the warranty? Is it because of the actual glass broke and not the mechanics itself?

 

I need the story why the dealer won’t replace it under warranty

 

They are claiming there is no problem with the window motor or cables. They tested it by running the switch a few times and the regional service guy denied it.

When I removed the back panels from the cab the cable that opens it was loose and binding when it closed.

Typical piss poor trouble shooting from the dealership.

I took pictures and will send them to Toyota later but I need my truck working so I am trying to repair it myself.

 

I found several but none that shows how to replace the center section.
Getting the broken part out was easy but trying to get the new one in place is not going well.

 

Not sure but might to remove the whole window and slide it from the end.
Do you have glass coverage? Break a side window and have replace the whole thing under insurance.

 

Can you post a picture from the outside of the center window in center?

 

Insurance said it was a Toyota problem. I guess I should have told them someone threw a rock through it.

 

Same like mine. I have damaged my plastic bottom part (in picture) and was told by dealer that, that part comes with the center window since it has to be removed to install the center window. Could dealer install it? Maybe (if lucky) they can damage the rest and replace the whole unit?

 

It did not come with the center window from the dealership. This is all you get.
And the dealership wants almost $600 to install the new window.

 

I can’t get the window to go down far enough into the channel to let the top slide into the top channel.

Or the top to go far enough for the bottom to go in.

 

because it has to slide in from the end. Whole back window needs to be removed and disassembled...I think. I looked at mine and channel is window long.
