Just what I was typing. I wouldn't ruin your cover. That gear was one from MId Organic or something, he didn't have the groove put in. Maybe use a dremel and groove out the brass.

What is rigidity for $200.As Bob would say "There's a reason" that groove is in there and Toyota went through the hassle of making the cover to fit, but I don't know it.
2 words, "Ambulance Doors"...I made it worse.
This thing is really pissing me off. I hate a damn 55 rear window
Yep. Not sure why Toyota did not do them for the US market. Love them on my 802 words, "Ambulance Doors"...
Probably not the best solution, might want to take a second look at that if you haven't already started grinding.
I have read posts somewhere in MUD where they had the same gear and did machine the groove in as in the factory plastic gear. A pain but probably the right way to do it.Something has to give. I have not done it but I’m not sure what else to do besides pull this gear (for the 3rd time) and have it machined with a ridge.

In da mailOption (A) send me the gear and I’ll machine it for you.
Option (B) find a local machine shop and have them machine it for you.
Option (C) get a die grinder or Dremel tool and whittle a grove in the gear yourself.
I’m really tired of messing with it. I might break something if I have to dig this one out again.
You know better than most, working on a Land Cruiser is a test of patience. Dig down deep and get it figured out.
I’m about 8 hours into this tailgate .......
I was actually thinking he’s way ahead of schedule what the heck is the problem...Think how much time you'll save the next time you fix one. Education don't come cheap! Blood, sweat and gears!
