Description
Product Overview
Fix those rattling, broken rear quarter windows on your first-gen Tacoma or Tundra with the iFJF Window Latch Hinge Pivot Kit. These precision-molded replacement pivots restore smooth opening and secure closing of the Xtracab rear quarter windows — a notoriously brittle factory part that snaps after years of UV exposure and use. This 2-pack includes both left and right side pivots in black.

Frequently Asked Questions
Q: How do I know if my window latch pivot is broken?
A: If your rear quarter window rattles at highway speeds, won't stay closed, or the latch feels loose — the pivot is likely cracked or broken. This is a well-known issue on first-gen Tacomas and Tundras.
Q: Does this fit the Double Cab models?
A: This pivot is specifically for Xtracab models with the rear quarter vent windows. Double Cab models typically have full-size rear doors and do not use this pivot.
Q: Will this work for the passenger side too?
A: Yes — this 2-pack includes both left (driver side) and right (passenger side) pivots. They are side-specific, so make sure to use the correct one.
Q: Is this better than the OEM Toyota part?
A: Our nylon polymer formulation is more UV-resistant than the factory plastic, which becomes brittle over time. Many owners find this aftermarket version lasts longer.
Q: Do I need any special tools?
A: Just a Phillips head screwdriver. The whole job takes about 10-15 minutes for both sides.
