I have a 1998 Toyota T100 that I'm fixing up. I had the same issue with the door latch. After I replaced the weather stripping it went away. Unfortunately Toyota doesn't make the weather stripping anymore so I just bought some for a 1998 F150 and it worked perfectly. Thanks for the video!
Toyota has almost has zero parts left for the T100’s.. you have to get creative, which it sounds like you did.. alright so 98 F-150 weatherstripping works on the T100, nice to know.. 👍🏼
how does weather stripping fix it?
Love the T100s and the 1stgentundras.
I bought a 02' TRD SR5 2yrs ago.
(2 owners)
You are a fortunate guy, as to be able get your hands on a excellent display of Toyota Excellence!
Considering this is a one owner vehicle, at 25yrs, you can't complain!
I have been going through my 02' Tundra SR5 4WD for 2yrs in order too bring it up to Like New Condition. Relax and have fun getting things the way they should be!
An 02’ Tundra is an awesome truck, there light years ahead with there refinement over the t100, but there’s no disputing there very similar.. I spend a ton of time surfing craigslist and it’s almost impossible to find another clean t100, most got worked pretty hard.. I really like the truck.. 👍🏼
Thank you sooo much! Just bought my ‘97 T100 from a used car lot and the owner saw a sucker coming when I walked in - I was in a hot hurry because my ‘92 Toyota pickup had been stolen a week prior and need it for work. Only had the ‘97 a little over a week and the list of things this guy didn’t disclose, played dumb about, or was completely full of bull is too long to state here (and there’s a story of what I went through for each). My door latch being the latest - it wasn’t tight to begin with and the door rattled a little. Well, of course I knew he was full of it when he told me that “the exterior screws just needed to be loosened to make the adjustment because a new rubber seal had just been replaced.” I knew that wasn’t right but wanted that truck anyway. Had it less than a week, went to shut the door from the inside and heard a loud bang - the latch didn’t swing back in the open position. Going to pick up the new mechanism at my local Toyota dealer today - couldn’t find one on any site I looked at - found plenty other OEM’s and aftermarket ones (all makes of trucks) for around 60 bucks. I had to pay $284 at the dealer to get one of the only two that all of Portland and surrounding areas had - guess I feel lucky though, it’s no fun having to have your left arm out the window to hold the door from banging and feels like it’s going to fall off from rattling so violently, and very unpleasant in 45 degree weather. Well, the list of everything else that’s wrong with it is too extensive to list. And just a couple of days after I bought it, my ‘92 was recovered - yay! That said, even with all the bad stuff on the T100, I’m going to keep it and sell my precursor to the Tacoma. I had offers to sell it for years now, and at quadruple the $800 it books at, but I had no clue how much more it’s worth than that. I paid 2 grand for it 10 years ago, and if I can get it running again (no idea what the thieves did to it), I can probably get around $6000 for it, and that’s without the pile of boxes filled with replacement parts and upgrades like you’ve got stacked up. It’s kinda crazy how desirable the little old ones are, and mine is the 6 cylinder and not even the coveted 4 cylinder 22re that everyone seems to want - those jack the price waaay up. Although I did find a ‘93 for only $2000 - it literally had no engine or interior, and it was literally a burnt out shell. Wish me luck selling mine - I need it after spending almost 10 grand for my T100 with only 138,000 miles on it, not to mention the already $600 in repairs, plus a $650 alarm system - that was priority number one even before I added it to my insurance. And for those wondering if I had a wheel lock on my ‘92, I did. They just made a cut in the steering wheel and spread it apart, it’s amazing how little (lightweight) metal it’s made of - it’s 80% rubber. Don’t get a sense of false security form them. If the baddies feel like going off-roading and camping like mine did, it’s pretty easy to steel. And again, I thank you very much for this invaluable tutorial! Now if I can find those fender extensions like you have (once I’m out of debt) I’ll be happy as a clam. 😜
That’s awesome you got yourself a 97, a great year for the T100, and it equality as awesome that you got a Brand new latch.. there nearly impossible to find. That’s the last latch toyota made with a soft rubber overlay that wears out. they went to a whole new style of latch as they entered the 2000’s! just keep on tackling the small issues as they arise and soon you’ll have yourself a super reliable truck.. let me know when your ready and i’ll send you a link for those fender flares.. 👍🏼
Thanks for the video man, just pulled my door apart to get to the latch. I ended up just pulling the rubber out of the latch to keep it from jamming. Seems to hold okay so far.
always nice fixing up little annoying things on old trucks. Im currently working on eliminating interior rattles on my 2000 Taco
Ahh chasing rattles.. been there before.. once you get rid of one, now you hear another... just crank up the music..👍🏼
This is exactly the video I needed man haha just bought a 96 and both latches are blown out. Glad you filmed this👍🏻
I swear these trucks are unstoppable, but the latches are one of there few weak points.. I would just try the electrical tape on the striker, and see how much it improves.. let me know what you end up doing, and if it worked!
Toyota Fanatics ya mines got 137k 4x4 super clean. I’ll try that out for sure brotha
@@toyotafanatics1 I have tried the electrical tape on the striker and it works for a bit but eventually wears out from vibration. Ive been thinking of finding a thin grommet style cylinder and or something of harder plastic as a quick and easy solution. Ill let you know what works, great video thank you
@@rb4520 I put electrical tape on mine and it really helped, problem is now, the latch is gunked up a bit!
Thanks for this video man
The t100 is still my all time favorite toyota creation to this date. And the most reliable engine i have ever personally owned. The 5vze 93 camry is hard to beat to. However thats jst a lil commuter. I have my T loaded with a highrise shell and a sleeping platform in the back. I remove it to work during the warm months. I do not have that cooling thing in my radiator btw. Thats aftermarket pretty sure. Ill be painting my skid plate soon as well! So easy cant believe i did not do sooner.
I totally agree, I think the T100 stands out as something really special.. and the fact that it was a short lifespan makes them even more unique..Sounds like yours is still going strong, that’s awesome.. i’m wondering if the auxiliary little radiator is a good thing or bad because it’s aftermarket and we know how that usually works out..
Mine are getting bad. Not that bad yet. But these road in Moab rattle everything. Thanks for sharing.
If you look at the hach there is a screws on the part that gets worn out you can take that apart go to junk yard remove the hatch of the rear door that gets use very little and reuse the part that's worm out on the latch of the t 100
That’s actually a fantastic idea right there, cause finding a latch for a T100 that’s not worn out is becoming impossible.. 👍🏼
This is a perfect video.
This is a perfect comment!! 👍🏼
The driver and passenger side power latch are still available new from Toyota, along with the manual driver side latch you got. You can take the rubber piece from a power one and swap to a manual one
Man truck is clean inside is perfect.
It’s is really clean.. So rare to find a clean t100, hardly any left..
Toyota Fanatics lucky man 🤝🤙🏾
I know plastic dip makes a spray people use on their wheels. But they also make a plastic coat. That you could possibly dip that striker. You should also be able to move it in to tighten it up.
Yes, i keep forgetting that i should try and move the striker up a tiny bit.. im gonna give that a try tomorrow.. thanks for the reminder
Got the same rattle on my 95. I’ll try the tape. I was just using some gorilla black tape my dad had in his shop to close a rip in his lawn mower bag🤪. The stuff is twice as thick, and sticks great, perhaps it’ll be too much.
Lemme know how it works! 👍🏼
Toyota Fanatics, worked wonders. The info on cost for new made it happen 😂
Please upload the door latch install
Do you know how to weld Is move door striker you could build-up the striker Run several Welds and then grind it down you're making the striker a little bit thicker . I had a friend Did that to his Toyota and that fixed no Play or very little play.
Have a t100..426000 miles.. my daily driver.. doesn't smoke or any problems..
Nice, those T100’s are Solid!! 👍🏼
U selling those smittybuilt side steps? Interested if you are.
My 22re is a 93 pickup extended cab deluxe
hey I have a t100 and I need a new door latch, can you send me that link to order a new one? I have no idea which one to order and want to order the correct one.
Door latches can be a pain in the butt to install. The thin wall sockets with plastic coating are great, wont scratch your wheels.
yes they can be, i’m sure i could do it much quicker now, but the first time is rough..
All the stuff you skipped is exactly the stuff I was hoping to see. I wanted to see how you got it out and how you got the new one in.
I’m Sorry man, i hope you figured it out.. it definitely can get tricky, i probably didn’t film cause i was having a hard time myself and needed both hands!! 👍🏼
Beautiful truck! How many inches lift do you have on it and tire size?
Thanks
The black T100 has a 5 inch trailmaster lift.. i hope you’ve seen the green T100 in the newer videos with the 7 inch lift.. which truck do you like more?
@@toyotafanatics1
Well. They both are beautiful! Very hard to decide. Lol.
Will a latch from a late 80s Toyota truck or early Tacoma not cross-reference to that latch?
Excellent question.. so it turns out that you can remove the rubber covered metal part that fails from a 4runner latch and bolt it into the T100 latch assembly.. I saw a whole write up on a forum about it, but this was a couple days ago and i’m having a hard time finding the forum now.. It worked perfectly, i just don’t remember what generation 4runner latch you need.. I assume the 1990-1995 4runner because the T100 started in 1993, so that just makes sense..
@@toyotafanatics1 good research skills bro. I just learned something new from you. thank you
My driver door has this since i got it...
Im not sitting with the latch to loose to pop over the catch..needless to say, my door is stuck closed again, cant even open to work on...arrgh.
Have to sneak somthing strong enough between the door and the latch to flick it up to free it up...oh man.
It aint easy man.
I totally dealt with that, i had a T100 door stuck shut.. taking the door panel off against the seat bottom is a b***h!! just gotta be forceful.. you can get it done! 👍🏼
@@toyotafanatics1 absolutely, its a great truck to work on. Easy on you When one makes mistakes.
I buy all my oem online (unless scrap yard successful)
TUSTIN TOYOTA
something like half off prices.
free ship over $75
Worth a look.
Plastic dip may hold up better then electrical tape. Also gum out all in one fuel system treatment with PEA comes highly recommended by Scotty Kilmer on UTube. I use it about every 5000 miles.
Thanks.. alright imma toss in the gum out!!
Love your t100. Can I get some help from you or anyone reading this comment. I am looking for a 4 inch lift kit for my 96 t100 sr5 but I can’t find one. All the shop’s I’ve been to today and last week, can’t seem to find a kit for my t100. Like wtf, I just want to upgrade my t100.
Ebay!! there’s a few 4 inch T100 lifts on ebay for sale.. i swear ebay seems to be the best place for T100 parts.. lemme know if you get it done..
The kit says it for a 93-96.. but there is no way if won’t fit 97-98.. Nothing changed!

Man…i been trying to figure out why the hell my passenger door been rattling…thanks for the video…gotta buy electrical tape now
The electrical tape works wonders on those latches, i guess you could use some duct tape also.. you have options! 👍🏼
You got part numbers or sources for
Both? Need it please
69320-34040 driver side manual latch
69320-34030 driver side power latch
69310-34030 passenger side power latch
All are available new from Toyota. Price depends on dealer but dealers online are almost always cheaper than in the store.
Passenger side manual is 69310-34040 and discontinued. You can buy the power version and swap the rubber part in the video.
What websites you use for stock parts because dealers are too expensive or no more.
I’m strictly an EBAY guy.. You can find almost everything on there, and if it’s not there.. wait a week, it’ll show up!
Toyota Fanatics the stuff eBay is fake Chinese products or real deal?
Also I think your driver door saw a body shop or was hit at one point. The Allan bolts and paint looked too wavy
I need that parr
Look on eBay! i always see em for sale on there! 👍🏼
My 1996 T100 door is jam. I can't open the door from the inside or outside. I need to replace my door latch both the front and left. I cant find it anywhere.
There’s a few on ebay, but make sure there not worn out also.. 👍🏼
My door is stuck shut, both handles will not open the door. What is the trick to open the door?
@@TheSubtleamuzement mine did the same thing you have to pop the door panel off and reach inside there is a little lever that will open the door connected to the door latch of course
Where did you get your door latches?
So the toyota dealership found the driver side one, said it was the last one that toyota of america had, found the passenger side one on ebay and it was worse than the worn out one that was in there, so i returned it.. don’t know where i’m going to find another, just happy i got a new driver side one...
I just bought a used one for 100 bucks, used. Works great.
Where did u buy the door latch from
I lucked out and found one on ebay and then my toyota dealership got me the other.. it was expensive.. I’ve heard it’s the same guts from and 4runner latch, you just have to swap out the parts.. that’s always an option.. 👍🏼
Huge lead about the 4Runner parts match possibility. I just wasted three hours hunting for a T100 latch. Thank you!
Spray Bedliner on the hook. That should do it
you mean the striker, not a bad idea.. that would last longer than electrical tape..
@@toyotafanatics1 what about plastic dip??
I wish I had crank windows on my 95 😤
I’ve said over and over i’m so happy it has crank windows.. i’m not sure if any regulators have been changed out, but they both work perfectly.. i have had so many issues with power windows over the years..
What? Did you say Toyota does not sell the passenger latch?
Liked your DIY video very much.
That’s correct.. they have almost nothing available for the T100.. Theres a few items left at warehouses around the U.S., but once it’s gone, that’s that.. I consider myself lucky that they had the driver latch.. The Parts guy said that by law an auto manufacturer only has to keep parts available for 10 years, but toyota likes to do 15 years..
Link for the parts?
Are you looking for a door latch?
I know that old truck is worn out let me do you a favour and take that off your hands LOL. Gum out it’s got pea good fuel additive works great at cleaning fuel injectors
HAHA.. Thanks.. imma put in the gum out when i fill up later today👍🏼
Check out this video. He fixed the t100 latch with part of a 99 ? 4 runner rear latch.

That’s awesome, did not know that you could do that, i’ll probably go this route when i fix the passenger side.. 👍🏼
