This seemed really sturdy but the metal on the latch bent in less than a year and now is can no longer open the tailgate. If I could give it zero stars then I would as there seems to be other reviews so they know about this issue. See the red arrows in the photo for where it will bend.

Latch fit perfectly with no adjustments necessary! Looks very durable. Hopefully this will be the last one I will need.

Ordered all metal version. Was originally going to use my original metal frame and swap the handle (like others have) but upon inspection the metal frame was same thickness/bolt spacing so there was no need to do that. Bolted in easily and only change I made was bending the tab that holds the cable ball end in place. Opening was larger than I liked probably would have worked fine. Has been working great daily for over month. This isn’t cheapest one but has good reviews and fast prime delivery. If it breaks or fails I will come back and update.

This should be your first place to fix the issue of the cable seeming to stretch out, even if the old handle is not snapped broken. Worn down OEM handles will fail to open the door even if not fully snapped apart inside.The plastic in the OEM and other aftermarket handles flexes too much and makes it hard to get a full pull on the release cable. Eventually the plastic wears out so much the door will refuse to open because there isn't enough cable being pulled. The issue is actually NOT that cable stretching, and just a matter of worn out handle parts.Mine fit in just fine with no alignment issues on a 2002 Sienna. If you are having alignment issues, just send it back for another copy and it might be a good fit. Seems to be a little variation in tolerances.I did have to bend the spot that holds the release cable in place so the two sides were a tiny bit closer together. If the cable is too far pulled out when the handle is at resting position, the door will not unlock because the door latch will block it from operating if the handle/cable are pulled too tight. By shortening the amount of cable pulled out to attach it to the handle, mine now locks and unlocks.I can notice the massive difference in stiffness with the all-metal handle over the OEM ones. It's an instant engagement with the release cable. The OEM handle could just barely release at the end of the handle travel when it was working.I might feel comfortable putting the large door panel back on now that I don't have to crawl back and release it by hand when it gets stuck like before.

This is generally a good replacement for a 2006 Toyota Sequoia Limited, but I had one problem that other reviewers have reported too: after installing, there was slightly too much tension on the cable at all times. This causes the tailgate to not unlock properly (so not able to be opened). My solution was to use a pair of pliers to bend the metal a bit: I bent the part that holds the cable so that there would be slightly less tension on the cable. Maybe 1mm to 2mm only. Now it works. ONE OTHER ISSUE: the back trim on the outside of the vehicle (where the license plates connect) seems to stick out an extra 1mm or 2mm.... it's not sitting quite as flush as before. This might be caused by the shape or thickness of the new bracket but I'm not really sure and didn't feel like taking everything apart again to investigate.
