Open/Close Rear Hatch Glass via Key Barrel?

[nissanh]

I never knew this until I watch the Motor week video done about 3rd gen 4runners yesterday!

I quickly paused the video, ran to the 4R and used the key to open the glass from outside, long hold to left lowers the glass!! First time I used it since I owned the 4runner 13 years ago! Long hold to right raises it!

Literally EVERY 4Runner does this, 1st to 5th gen.

It's noted in the owner's handbook. Grab one off eBay!

I always thought they came from the factory with a seized rear hatch lock cylinder
