He has a 2001 Sequoia. We worked on it last night. It was really was involved and just trying to figure things out takes time. We ran into trouble with one of the plastic screws that hold the licence plate against the trim. The right side wouldn't budge and I broke the head of the screw off, finally got that out though. Also the bracket that holds the lock assembly somehow broke. I don't know what happened but it fell to the ground and I didn't know what it was at first. I think we could glue it in place but the glue had a 24 hour drying time and we wanted to finish. The lock assembly is in place but it's not attached to the trim piece like it should, so the other press locks are keeping it in place. Those were the two main problem we encountered on this job, other than trying to fit into the tight places. We almost felt like celebrating when we got the new handle in place. It's great to have the hatch working again and knowing we did it ourselves!

I am having trouble finding these parts online. I need the interior drivers side front door handle and the exterior rear latch (handle). The dealer here is hard to work with and it cost alot and if I can save and order online I would love to do that. Does anyone know were to find these parts online?
