How to Easily Open the Rear Door of a 2003 Toyota Sequoia

Model: Toyota Sequoia Xk40, Xk30 - Years 2001-2007
Part: Car door

This method to open a stuck rear hatch is only recommended for very old vehicles, as these types of cars do not have any system to open the vehicle from the inside. Therefore, you must proceed as follows. As shown in the video, remove the license plate, cut the vertical support, and cut the body to access the internal lock from the outside to unlock it. Perform an experiment with the remote, and if it works, you can reattach the license plate. Unfortunately, there will be a hole in the body, but it is covered by the plate and is not visible. Now the remote works, and the hatch can be opened.
