What's up, guys? I'm Andy from 1A Auto. In this video, I'm going to show you how to replace the door lock cylinder housing on this 2010 Toyota RAV4. If you need parts for your vehicle, click the link in the description and head over to 1AAuto.com.

I'm going to take this little cover off, a little grommet. Just take a trim tool. Just get underneath there or even a straight-blade screwdriver. Try to get that off. Pull that off. And then inside there there's a screw. Now the screw's not going to come out, but you just want to loosen it up. I'm going to use a T30 socket extension and a ratchet.

Loosen that up. That loose, then we should be able to take a trim tool. Just get underneath here. Just be careful not to scratch the paint. Just taking the key. Just going to wiggle this a little bit. All right. There we go. It wasn't all the way loose. So, take the key out. Just grab the trim tool. Slide this out. Watch out for the gasket. You can slide it right out. Just a little tip for you, sometimes it's difficult with this screw doesn't really want to come out when you're trying to take this housing off. Just take a little magnet then you can grab the screw and then it just makes sliding this out a little bit easier. Take this cover off. Just take the pocket screwdriver, get underneath here and it pops right off.

Now take the cover. I'm just going to slide this side in first just like that, and then lock it in place. That's good. You can slide this back in position. Just like that. I'll take the T30 socket and the extension. Just get this screw started and just snug this up. Not too tight. This cover back on. Lock it in place.
