Back window won't roll up

[Griswald]

Just put hard top back on my 89 runner. Back window won't roll up. I'm thinking maybe the wiring harness under the rear quarter panel might be the issue? Any thoughts? Thanks

The next most common problem, at least in 1st gen 4Runners, is a missing shell interlock bolt (image D above - bolt A below). These are the two funny looking bolts near the back. If they are missing, the relay thinks the top is off and won't let the window move, up or down. If the bolt is installed and you still suspect a problem, pull off the trim/panel on the driver's side and look at the interlock switch. Sometimes, if too long a bolt was installed, the switch can become deformed and may no longer work properly. Some folks just wire a jumper across this switch to bypass it.

Thanks. I'll look into that but before I do just wondering if for whatever reason or another the vehicle thinks the top is still off? All the cables are hooked up. Anyone ever not have the top go up and then adjust something etc? Thx

Oh! Now I know what you're talking about. I remember those weird bolts when I took the top off and I didnt understand they were there. I hope I saved them! I'll have to look when I get home later and try and pop them in. I cant remember if the top needs to be off to access them. Hopefully this should work! thanks!

Like mholme says ^^^

Location:

Bolt should be proper length to close contacts of this switch:

If that doesn't fix it, also check to make sure your wiper is parked and contacts of wiper retracted switch are open = one of the contacts should have no continuity to ground.
