Offroad-Express

does any one know how to fix the electric rear window thingee,.....when closing only go about 3/4 of the way up and stop

then if you give it a little lift and press the button again it closes

it is just old age

mine does the same,but i kno my inside panel of tailgate is dented outwards from me n the boys standin on it at times loadn the roof but if i get out and use key on outside it doesnt do it

my old work wagon did the same. try spraying he giudes with some silocone sray, it worked on mine.

give it a couple of viagras

Inside the rear tailgate are a number of sensor switches. If any of these are faulty it will stop the window. You can disconnect most of these and the door will still work, but wont have any safety features (ie window will come out with tail gate down)

There is also a relay controller box behind the passenger side rear panel (behind the storage compartment) This could be faulty.
Mine got saturated as water was jetting up trough a drain hole in the rear panel and shorted it out. Its know sealed up.

Also could be the drive motor its self. My one stripped the dive gear slightly and would only go up half way before slipping.
I tried to mod it to no avail to make it work again. However I discovered that the drive motor is the same for all the electric windows. I went to the wreckers and got a rear passenger side door motor and bolted it in. Rear window know works sweet as again.

Hope this helps

edited spelling:

In the states they call what we know as "surfs", "4runners"., when they refer to a "1st generation" its the old 2 door with fi glass rear roof, when they refer to "2nd generation" it's the later 4 door type with a steel roof......anyway here's a link to diagnosing the fault with your window
