Fitment:Tacoma 1995-2004,Tundra 2000-2006.
Easy installation.
1.Simply tap out the two pins on the bracket with the included dowel pin and reinstall using the aluminum pivot.Can be firmly fixed.
2.This billet hinge pivot is a permanent fix for this common problem.
3.Allows to only replace the failed components with the kit, rather than replacing the whole window lock assembly.
NOTES:
1.You must use lubricant during install. Lithium grease or WD-40 works fine.
2.These are designed for a snug fit to prevent rattling, however the pins may prove to be TOO TIGHT in some situations.
3.If you find the pins too be too tight, simply drill the holes on the pivot out slightly.
4.We recommend starting with a #19 drill bit, and moving to a #18 if necessary.
5.You may also find the window does not close as tightly as before. This is generally due to the mount arm being bent slightly during pin removal. It is soft metal, and can be easily bent by hand.
6.If your window is loose, just give that arm a couple of tugs towards the inside of the truck, and the window should then close tightly.
Required tools:
Channel locks, or similar pliers Phillips screwdriver Hammer Approx. 5/32″ drift punch (similar size old drill bit or allen wrench will work) Lubricant is recommended.
Installation Tips:
1.Remove the latch from the window using a phillips screwdriver.
2.Use a drift punch to press down the pin.
3. Remove pin using drift punch.
4.Use channel locks to press the pin back in place.
5.Reinstall your screw nut in window.
6.Use channel locks to press the other side of pin back in place.
