You need to crawl into the back and remove the tailgate trim, then release the motor from the winder part.

Sorry to jump in on conversation but rear window on my 1990 Surf does everything it should EXCEPT open off the key from outside i have removed the said panel have checked for loose/disconnected/broken wires rattled everything but still no joy what now

As above...........the winder assembly will be seized up, you will need a new mechanism and possibly a motor

But the window goes up and down no probs from the button inside the car

CHANCES ARE THE ANSWER WAS TO THE POST ABOVE YOURS MATE. maybe the switch/RELAY is knackered , pop over to hiluxsurf.co.uk lots being broken on there ,you may get a rear door switch cheap enough.

or contact demondodger AKA paul.keubik@ntlworld.com or telephone 07930379698 he's currently breaking a 1995 surf - TOP FELLA HE IS TOO.

Aaah, you didn't say that in your posting! lol, but I think your question may now have been answered. The 4 runner/surf rear windows were always seizing up, usually it was the window regulator. Kingo
