RAV4 rear door part

I believe it is called either a door "stay" or door "check".

You have to remove the roll pin on the door jamb and then remove the inner
door panel to change out that part.  If you are replacing it because it
makes a groaning noise, replacing the door stay will not make the noise go
away.  It is the rubber piece that squeezes the stay that makes the noise.

There are several Toyota dealerships that offer on line parts sales.  Google
"toyota dealer parts" and take your pick.

I'm replacing it 'cause it fell off somewhere and I can't find it.
Thanks much Ray O.

Did you look inside the back door to see if it fell inside?  Another
possibility is that the roll pin that secures it to the door jamb broke, and
the stay is just pushed all they way into the door frame and you can either
pull it out from outside the frame or push it back out from inside.

There are several free online Toyota EPC (electronic parts catalog)
that you can download that are amazing and I use them all of the time
prior to a repair or when trying to cross reference parts or to look up
part #'s and descriptions:

Here are places to download the free Toyota EPC catalogs:

Most of these links no longer work. And the parts catalog at yankeetoys is
very old (11 years old).

I tried the EPC thing and have yet to get it to install properly. to
many tries to count. Anyone else have any luck? I need the assembly
blow ups mysefl. Trying to figure out where the transmission modulator
is, or if they even had 1 in the automatic AWD models in 1996. Are
there any binstall issues for the EPC when running XP Pro?

I don't have any experience with EPC's but I'm pretty sure that there is no
automatic transmission vacuum modulator in Toyota electronically controlled
transmissions (ECT).

Are you having problems with the transmission shifting?  If so, check for
voltage from the coolant temp sensor (I think your engine has 2 - 1 for the
gauge and 1 for the ECM).

For $10/day, you can get online access to factory repair manuals in pdf
format at techinfo.toyota.com.
