Any thoughts on hitting the bottom of the hatch with fluid film to help with any sitting water?

So I got new 4runner. I’m looking at the various different underbody rust proofing options. I live a few miles down a dirt road, in the Midwest. So in the winter it’s salt, and anytime it rains or basically all spring I’m driving in the mud. I try to hose the mud off the cars whenever I can, but...

So I’m thinking about putting some fluid film or similar in the bottom of the lift gate. Anyone else do this? I really can’t think of any way to keep this from happening again to the regulator. Water drips off the window once it gets below the trim piece and onto the regulator. The worst part...

Pulled out the window regulator over the weekend. It was all rusted and the cable was frayed. Had some trouble with a couple screws being seized and needing to be drilled out to be removed (thanks to a neighbor). Got a new regulator at the dealership and got it installed. Luckily the motor was...

Thanks again. Hopefully they’ll see it.

Bumping this up in hopes that this can help me fix the same problem. Looking for some drawings so I know what I’m tackling with this project. Also, for the OP I know it’s been a while, but am wondering if you were able to fix it yourself. Thanks!

Yeah maybe because I’ve been a member for a long time?

Thanks for the links. Maybe I’ll pm the person that said they had some pdfs.

Need some help. Got a 2012 limited, went to put rear (tailgate) window down today, and it dropped, and made a crunching sound. Wont go up, won't stay up, so I have it taped all the way up. I assume the actuator rusted out, the motor sounds like it is still working. What am I looking at here as...

Looking to get a new 24 before the new body style. I haven’t looked for a new car since 2018, so am a bit not up to date on the current state of affairs post pandemic shortages. Not finding many on dealer lots locally, found one out of state that is pretty much an exact match to what I’m looking...

I searched and haven’t found anything, I did really try. 2012 limited, with a lot of miles on it. I am wondering if I have a trans problem and was hoping someone can help. I can put it in gear either forward or reverse and feels like the parking brake is engaged. It moves a bit when you take...

I tired the fork lift on our 12 LE with factory bars, without much luck. No matter where I put the rack, the clearance between it and the roof was so tight I couldnt even fit a piece of paper between it and the roof. I went with the holdup 2 instead. I have a high roller that I was able to use...
