Great replacement, greate price, great service by 1AAuto!

Extremely satisfied with my purchase of this item from 1AAUTO. Definitely will be a repeat customer for any other spare auto parts needs in the future. The instruction video was extremely helpful and saved me a lot of time and effort. I received the part within 3 days of ordering and it was exactly as described. The metal lift gate handle replacement is definitely going to last a lot longer than the original plastic part. Buying this part (50% off!) cost me much less (at least $400) than what my local Toyota dealer quoted me to replace the part. Here are a few tips for prospective buyers/DIYers specific to replacing the lift gate handle: 1. Each of the two fixed 10mm bolts that are integral to the lift gate handle assembly has a rubber washer. The replacement part doesn't come with the rubber washers but you can take the washers from the broken part and put them on the new part. 2. When taking the panel off the liftgate, be sure to pry it off with a slow and steady force. The pa

This is the third and final lift gate handle for our Toyota Sienna. The first two replacements were by Toyota, and like the original handle, they were plastic and broke within a year or two of a costly installation by the dealer. I chose this replacement metal handle and have every reason to believe it will be long lasting. I followed the installation video and found it to be a simple D-I-Y job, actually taking less than an hour to complete. I also found 1A Auto to have the best price as well as free shipping.
Great Fit and Easy Repair

Part came quickly, and was better quality than the OEM part. Repair took less than an hour. My local Toyota dealer wanted $1,000 to repair..Unbelievable!!!
Sequoia Liftgate Handel

February 8, 2017
I ordered one Lift Gate Handle and a Window Motor for the Rear Hatch Door for my 2003 Toyota Sequoia. I received two (2) Lift Gate Handles and no (0) Motor for my Rear Hatch Door.??? So I installed one of the Lift Gate Handles I received and it failed in less than a couple of days. A real inconvenience!!! So I'm going to return the broken handle after installing the second one. I need to know where to return the broken handle AND should I be expecting the Motor for the Rear Hatch Door??. Mike Lecourias @ 713-516-1680., Thank you,
Fits well

The original equipment was made of plastic and engineered to last six years depending on use. The installed replacement is metal and fits well. Installation was time consuming as the rear Inside dope molding had to be remove. Toyota parts department wanted in excess of one hundred dollars for the part which was not stocked
Great service

2003 Toyota Sequoia Lift Gate Handle

February 17, 2017
Great website, easy purchase, quick delivery, similar to OEM part and felt heavier, hope the weight helps strengthen the latch. Had to modify the lever outside throw sticking out too far to fit into the hole. Cut 1/4" off the end of lever sticking out and completed installation. Very difficult repair with the electric rear window blocking access and view of the handle. I hope the part never breaks because I don't want to make this repair again. Hope this help you and A1 with QC.
Better than original

tailgate is harder to open with this handle. The install took a while because the automatic window hardware is right in the way.
Awesome

It works just like the original. It closes with a nice solid easy squeeze versus the original that seemed to be a tense more strenuous squeeze. It is also made of more metal versus the plastic original one that broke easy.
A poor fit
Thomas
March 30, 2017
The handle looked just like the original. I installed the new handle and found that it did not fit properly. They bent the mounting tabs too high , so when you put the trim back on it stuck up. I had to swap the handle over to my original mounting bracket.
Great improvement over the original
Walter
June 18, 2017
This appears much stronger than the original handle and 1A Auto had a good video for installation - and at a fraction of the price of the OEM piece of junk handle. I love it when aftermarket manufacturers see poorly designed problematic parts and greatly improve on them - then offer it at a price lower than the OEM. Great job!

The handle installed with ease. So far after 4 months or so it is still working fine. It is a little stiffer than the factory one but for the price it is a good deal, especially if it holds up the life of the vehicle. We'll see.

The hand lever and attachment interface are metal... the lever show on the right hand side of the picture (not the cable lever to the left) .... is the part that breaks.... at least for my vehicle.... is still plastic on this replacement part. So not really ALL metal. Suggest that anyone that replaces this part should lube up cable and door latch well to reduce stress on this plastic component.

August 22, 2017
After looking for a replacement handle for our 2002 Toyota Sequoia I decided on this all metal handle instead of the mostly all plastic OEM handle. Upon receiving this handle it appears to be of good quality and stronger than the original. I had no issues with the installation as the fit was accurate. Once installed it felt stronger than OEM part and works very well. Time will tell if this part is better than OEM part but it appears it is and will. Ordering was easy and shipping was standard. I would considering ordering parts again from this business.
Fit perfectly

I only gave 4 stars as I just installed it with no proof of longtime reliability. If it works as the lifetime replacement to the plastic one that lasted for 17 years I will be very satisfied.

Part arrived early in secure package. Part is made of metal, not plastic. Considerably more "heft" than the OEM part that broke. Installation video accurately demonstrated how to install the part. Highly recommend this part and 1aauto!

latch lever bent
Bob
October 27, 2017
The latch arrived earlier than expected and installed easily. Unfortunately, about two days later, the latch was harder to operate and then failed. It appears that a lever inside the latch had bent. I resolved this by using the handle from the new latch and the latch body from the old latch. Adjustment of the latch bail at the bottom of the door opening made operation of the handle much easier. Hopefully it will last.
Works Great

After two Factoty Toyota Plastic replacement lift gate failures, I purchased this metal handle from 1aauto and walla, problem solved! The metal latch now will not break when I have used it over time like the plastic one from the dealer! 5 stars out it 5. I will look for other replacement parts for my Sequoia when it comes to replacement time!
Best replacement ever.

January 24, 2018
I've been buying these Toyota rear latches from the junkyard as they break from my Toyota Sequoia and they usually last about a year-and-a-half to two years so this time I bought one aftermarket from China that's made of steel not the original Toyota parts that was plastic hopefully this does the trick and I don't have to replace it once every year and a half to two years
All metal product!

January 28, 2018
The original stock item on my car is the same part (essentially) except the portion of the part that broke was made of plastic. What led me to this website is a repair video on YouTube done by 1A Auto. For less than $30, they sell this part that is made of ALL medal. The video showed how easy it was to replace and install this part in my car and I know that I'll never have to replace it in my car's lifetime. Totally worth it. I would buy this same product from this vendor all over again.
Reliable company

I have never regretted for choosing 1A as my auto parts supplier. They are very reliable and efficient. Their customer service is also exceptional. To order an auto parts from 1A auto is highly recommended and a decision in the right direction.

February 17, 2018
On 2/17/ 2018 I installed the handle on the lift gate. The hardest part was putting the trim panel back on. I had replaced the plastic handle years ago. I still needed to watch the how to video as a refresher. I had done it before and I am so glad I used a little antisieze on the screws and fasteners. That was not on the video that just my own doing. The metal handle is great , everything works well, better than new.
Great part. nice fit.

February 20, 2018
I am very happy with my order from A1 Auto. They had the option of an all metal part instead of the plastic one that you get from Toyota at three times the price. I highly recommend them.
Nice Upgrade from the Factory Plastic Version
Ronald
February 21, 2018
Somewhat of a pain to install, but definitely doable with the video. Saved me a ton of money versus having the dealership replace with the original plastic version which I had done twice previously. I will buy this metal version if it ever breaks again.
Perfect fit!

February 22, 2018
We ordered this item as a sturdy metal replacement for the weak broken plastic OEM lift gate handle. The construction is BETTER than the OEM original, the price was outstanding and the shipping fast. I recommend this part, and I trust and recommend 1A Auto. I will be buying from them again.
Worked like a charm

Original handle broke and was in need of replacement. Like an idiot I went to amazon and got that was defective (didn't engage cable enough to trigger lock mechanism). Came to 1A auto and ordered a handle which ended up working perfectly.

Solid replacement

August 3, 2018
Highly recommend the metal replacement piece as opposed to the plastic one. The gate handle here is a little stiffer than the stock piece, but that isn't a problem. It fit perfectly. Installation was simple, I just had some complications removing rusted out licence-plate screws but other than that it was not difficult.

The part arrived on time and was the correct part. The original is plastuc, which is why I had to replace. New part is metal, amd less than a dealership charges for OEM plastic handle. Looks like 1AAuto has some good prices overall, amd so far, quality is better than OEM

I like the all metal construction. It installed well and is a perfect fit. Time will tel how it holds up but it feels very solid and durable! I would recommend if your Sequoias rear hatch handle breaks! Fix it quickly before you latch seizes up!

Product is much sturdier than factory made Toyota plastic version which was just replaced 2 years ago by a Toyota Dealer. The only issue I ran across was the how-to video was based on a different model vehicle so I had to consult additional resources to complete the project.
Lift gate handle for a 2004 Sequoia
T
December 28, 2018
As most of you know the lift gate handled designed by Toyota is really quite bad. I have replaced it once already and it broke again. They wanted something like $160 at the dealer so I refused to pay so much for a terrible product. I came across 1A Auto and saw that it was a steel reinforced lift gate handle that was much better and cheaper. So I signed up. The price was great, the delivery was quicker then stated and the product works amazing. You can certainly tell the difference in quality for sure. Thanks 1A Auto for providing amazing value.
It works

Maybe didn't fit right
G
January 31, 2019
Maybe garnish was warped/damaged, but the poor fit wasn't there until after installing the replacement handle. The part pushed the top of the stock garnish piece out just slightly. Installing the OE toyota handle took the slight bulge out of the garnish. Holes lined up fine. Cable holder was much tighter than stock, which would eventually sever the cable casing.
Great Product
J
March 29, 2019
I would highly recommend this product!! A million times better compared to the junk plastic handle that comes stock. Install can be tedious but there are plenty of videos out there that helps explain the procedure, and if you are mechanically inclined you will do fine. Words of advice be gentle and patient because due to the year of vehicle parts can be extremely brittle. My install was on a 2001 Toyota Sequioa. Thank you 1A Auto! I look forward to future purchases!
The part was exactly as described on the video.

April 17, 2019
When I looked at the video on how to remove and install the part it really was as simple as it was shown on the video. Also the part was heavy duty so it wont break as easy as the original part from Toyotae about it.
Good prices and videos decent
Eric
April 20, 2019
Also received the parts as expected. Please consider adding to the video an issue that I had after installing the rear door handle, Even after testing the handle operation manually I thought I was done. I then left the rear door closed and installed the side door handle. Only after electronically locking the van I discovered that the rear door handle would not open with key or door locks. Found solution online where this rear handle latch may need to be manually adjusted with pliers at the top cable assembly by prying it down a little at a time to where the cable will freely move within the rear door latch part. After that the door opens as should.

This part is hefty and I'm sure will outlive the 2003 Toyota Sienna I installed it on. The video was a significant help and I had no issues installing it. Once you remove the two nuts and one bolts that holds the outside trim piece (where the actual handle is mounted) be careful to push out the plastic retaining clip -- otherwise it will snap and you will need to buy a new retaining clip (or just let the trim piece be loose on the left side.

NOT FULLY METAL
A
August 29, 2019
The description says "made in metal form to provide a stronger, more durable handle" which is a total lie. The mounting is made of metal but the handle with the lever that pulls the wire (the one that is getting broken) is plastic. Just like the original part. Please don't buy it if you hope this is going to last longer. It's just an aftermarket part. BTW I bought the original for $250 so even just as a replacement it's might be not that bad. Just make sure you live the wire when you install a new handle. Otherwise it will get broken in a few month. This part is NO stronger than the original.

After installing handle I found that the liftgate will only open after you use the key, even when the master unlock is engaged. I have been unable to correct this. I guess being able to use the rear access is better than no access.

Toyota Sequoia Sienna Liftgate Handle
Gerard
August 13, 2020
Handle installed fine, upon initial assembly. Installed and opened and closed door fine. However when I took a trip to Walmart and locked the car, the handle did not activate to open the door. So i had to take the door apart again and found the arm of the handle was oriented too high and put tension on the cable to the point where the locking mechanism did not line up to disengage. I reached in with a channel lock and bent the arm down about 1/4 inch and worked perfectly. The moral of the story, check the locking and unlock before you put the panel on and if it does not work you may have to adjust slightly. thx BDX.

I have previously replaced the liftgate handle on my 2003 Sienna two times in the past with the Toyota genuine part ... which is made of plastic and eventually breaks. This handle is metal and feels more solid. I don't think it will ever break! I'm not at all mechanically inclined, but from watching YouTube videos on installing this part, installation was a breeze. Just under 1/2 hour to install.

The original latch failed at about 8 years. Replaced with another plastic latch that was suppose to be better??. It went a few weeks ago. Now on my third latch and this one from 1A Auto is all metal??. I would give 10 stars if this was an option. Thank you for videos to fix my problem. A VERY satisfied customer.
Defective part
Garrett
January 25, 2021
I bought this handle because it was all steel and would not break again. But the lever was an inch too high. It seemed impossible to even get it into position so they sent me another one but it was exactly the same. With great effort I installed it but it is still the wrong position to operate the cable properly so I can't use it at all. I just wasted 20 days ordering and waiting for the part and then installing it twice.
I made it workable. Not as tough as it looks.

February 20, 2021
I was excited that this product was all metal and not plastic. However it is pretty thin metal. I tightened the bolts in and the flange ears bent all up. I was able to straighten them and make it work. One bolt cross-threaded and I had to break it out and use a new bolt in its place. I also needed to cut some of the trim piece around the License plate in order for it to fit in place of the old handle. If you are careful in tightening the bolts it should be good to use.
Broke within a month

I had to bend the metal to create enough space to keep the proper tension on the cable that actuates the latch to lift the tailgate, but 3 times in a row, after a period of time it would stop working and I was unable to open the lift gate and would have to disassemble the lift gate from the inside to try again. After the third failure I order the OEM handle which works like a charm. The handle is all metal, but dont be surprised if the product does not perform as well or not at all as the OEM handle.
So far so good.

So far so good - install was pretty straight forward, found a very helpful video on YouTube. Fingers crossed that it will last longer than the OEM one I had installed about a year prior

Awesome upgrade! The old plastic one broke and this metal one feels nice and sturdy. There's a couple reviewers that say theirs broke right away, but they either got lemons or were somehow abusive because I don't anticipate ever having to replace this one ever due to the sturdy construction.

The part is much more sturdy (metal vs. plastic) than the original part. I had to bend one of the attachment flanges flat as it had become slight bent during handling. It fit well into the tailgate, but could not fasten the small screws that hold it to the license plate light frame. No matter as the larger bolts fasten the handle to the lift gate.

It was a little bigger than the OEM. The size made it a little harder to install. Outside of that it worked fine.

The rocker arm that pulls the cable bent immediately. I had to modify it to get it to work. The rest of the handle seems to work adequately.
Perfect part!

Not OE, but works.

Not an exact OE fit. Had to modify the mount surface to make it fit correctly. It pushed out the plastic trim around the license plate. Had to cut off a bit of plastic where it screws to the trim piece. Also the slot where the cable connects was too large and cable ball kept falling off. A little bend with pliers got it to stay.

i purchased my 2005 sequoia brand new from the dealership after about 10 months the latch broke i went to the dealer and was shown a brochure that it was not covered under warranty. I bought a replacement from the dealer which last about 5 months i was very frustrated and did not know what to do . so i started to look on line and came across this website i made the purchase and installed it thinking how long will it last, i was really surprise that a few years have gone by without any issue VERY GOOD LATCH> THIS IS THE LATCH TO BUY IF YOU HAVE THIS PROBLEM.

Doesn't work for 2001 Toyota Sequoia
Jeremy

Finally got around to installing it, but the gap on the piece that holds the ball end of the latch cable is way too large and I couldn't attach the latch cable to this new handle. When I tested it, it just slipped off. The gap was a good 1/8" wider than the stock part. I've purchased a similar handle before for another Toyota we used to have and it worked very well but this is completely useless in my Sequoia. I sourced a used metal handle from the scrap yard and used that and it was designed just fine and works. Just want a refund.
Good upgrade

Nice upgrade from the original plastic piece. Only down side is that it does require more tension to open now.

Is the hook that engages the mechanism metal too?

Everything was metal in this replacement part. Not plastic like the original. It is a little stiffer, takes a little more force to pull, but not a problem.

It is. Mine has been installed for nearly 2 years now and, except for a little WD40 every now and then, is holding up great.

My Lift-gate has power locks. There is an electrical "box" over the top of the latch so I cant' see the latch itself. Does this part work with all lift gates, power lock or not?

It should work fine with power locks. Our Sequoia has power locks and it fit perfect. Just be prepared to remove the interior panel on the lift gate to access the parts. Hope that helps.
