    I thought I had seen all ChrisFix videos. Today, my father-in-law needed help figuring out how to fix the door of his Rav4. I was sure I would have a hard time finding a video helping me, but Boom! out of nowhere, a 7-year-old Chrisfix video showing in detail everything I needed to know. This guy is an endless pit of great videos!

    +Dave Johnson, I cannot reply to your comment for some reason so I hope you see this. Thanks for the comment! The door lock actuator rod snapped in the white plastic piece really tight. I tried to pop it out but it wouldnt. In retrospect I should have used a zip tie just to ensure no future problems. I did not think of it at the time because it was in there nice and tight.

    Very handy guide, still useful in 2024! Cheers. 👍

    When I did all these steps, I saw that the linkage was not disconnected at all. What could be the other reasons that my door does not unlock from the driver's side?

    So, I think I have the same problem, was your door lock not turning all the way and just getting like jammed and is what you did the fix for that? or was it turning all the way and just not unlocking?

    the issue you experienced with unlocking the door, were you able to rotate the key in the lock? when i put my key in the lock, i cannot rotate it. i want sure if this fix would work for me.

    A fun and easy video down the road might be a window motor and regulator replacement. There are plenty of them on CZcams but none from a guy using basic hand tools in north Jersey! In typical fashion of going all out maybe you could mod a vehicle to have all auto powered windows to give it that extra certified Chrisfix touch!

    I would add to your well explained video to secure the linkage rod in the plastic retainer clip with something like a tiny cable tie or if you have heat shrink tubing then slide a 2" length of tubing over the plastic retainer, past where the linkage connects. Then connect the linkage and slide the heat shrink back up and over the connection. Heat with a hair dryer or heat gun and never have to worry about it popping out again. Thanks for the detailed video.

    Thank you, it's really easy. I have broke the windows control panel latch and maybe something else before your video.

    This is by far the finest quality remodel video I have seen right down to the cross-fades. By the way, this walkthrough is suitable for 98- 2000 models. I have a 99 and I thank you very much.

    Well done. You explain things very well. The camera work and editing are very efficient and don't waste any time.

    Great tutorial. Just removed the door panel on my dads 2003 RAV4. Took me no more than 5 minutes after watching this video, the small panel at the electric window control caused me the most trouble. It´s also nice to know where to look for the clips on the door panel

    best video of this task that I have seen .. brief, straightforward, talking is limited to the task itself (no personal yak about self or unrelated topics). Well done ! and THANK YOU ! I'm of the generation when speaker covers simply popped off or had their own screws. Am annoyed I have to remove so much stuff just to change a speaker, but your video has made that task so much easier without me breaking something

    Excellent work. I needed this as I had to replace the wing mirror. The two long screws in the door handle had me stumped for a long time.
