- The purpose of this video is to prove that you can use the same part to replace front doors check in second generation Toyota Sienna 2004 2005 2006 2007 2008 2009 2010. Also showing that you don't have to remove the door opener while removing the door panel. 2007 - 2010 Sienna does not need to fix the door panel, just to replace the door check.

To clear up things here, when I mentioned that I installed the driver side part at the passenger side, I meant the old broken driver side part, I knew it was popping but I installed it there just to make sure that it's going to fit and work prior to ordering the part that is categorized as "Driver side" by online sellers. It was impossible to find an after-market part sold as "Passenger side".
My 2004 Sienna was making a horrible popping/clanking sound when I opened and closed the door. When I looked closer, I saw the assembly had pulled away from the door. My Van had 150k on it so I thought I would try to fix it myself. I drilled a small hole where I saw the spot welds had broken. I then installed a small sheet metal screw. Quiet like new again. Didn't cost anything. I got the idea from another CZcamsr that used a rivet. Its winter here, but when it warms, I install a couple of rivets. $450 at Toyota just wasn't happening this time.
Yes, 2004 and some 2005 have this additional problem, the door is too weak to hold on to the check (stopper). It's too late now for a recall. It's worth the trial and error. You can look up in your local junk yard if they have a door off a 2007 - 2010, they don't have this issue.
Helpful. Thank you!
