How do you take the back off? It appears all four sides are one piece of metal just bent in a square!

Under hood where shift cable or two if manual, you will see a metal spring that goes around cable right next to where metal rod extends and retracts to provide shifting. On end farther away from shiny rod is a normally white piece of plastic before turns black and heads into car. In this white piece of plastic is a square normally yellow or pink but could be white or same, dig at all four corners of square piece and pull up word perpedictular to cable when it pulls I p approximately 1 inch, then it will pop free and cable will not be hooked to output shinny metal rod. If break switch applied park lock works and transmission is in park you could push square plastic clip back into place. If this doesn't remove unwanted travel or adjustment, I have had to block the wheels, set park brake and shift shifter into manual drive 1. And on transmission do the same, useually tword the cable as shifting into 1st is pulling on cable then cable pulls on trans, when both in same location or desired reinsert clip. Couldn't find picture but just as good. Here is someone doing what I tried to explain. Little different cable then I picture in my head but done to many to count. Here ya go

Sounds like that piece of metal is an anti thief shield that has been bent at some time. Manipulate it so that there is some clearance.

If you closely examine the door where it bolt up to the metal is probably bent a little so when you tighten up the mount its just not tight, bent the metal a little and should tighten things up for you. If nothing else take the other side off and look at how this are shaped on the other side.

You will need to remove the hanger for the steady bearing because the one piece can hit on it, especially if you put something in the box. Other than that, it shouldn't be a problem if you can find one the right length. Hope this helps.

If you're referring to the tail lights, I had the same problem. They started going out and wouldn't work with new bulbs. I discovered that there is a wiring harness for these lights that travels down the passenger side of the trunk lid. It gets bent whenever the trunk is opened ( only the part of the harness that is near the hinged part of the trunk lid). The wires inside the harness eventually break due to being bent back and forth repeatedly - just like bending a piece of metal back and forth until it breaks. Replace the harness or bypass the damaged area and you will have lights again.

if it has two lines from mastyer and 4 lines out yes if not no

Straightening bent metal is very difficult when it needs to be perfect to operate. You might want to replace this piece.

On the top of the headlight is a star shaped fitting. This is the adjuster. It works by spinning a gear that is mounted to a shaft to position the headlight up and down.

I've seen them fall off, where the headlight is not adjustable, infact, the bulb sits at the bottom position and bounces up and down.

Adjuster is not available as a part from GM, you are required to replace the headlight.

e most common problem is the spring on the fuel door breaks off. Have someone pull on the release cable handle, insert a credit card or something like that under the edge of the gas door, see if it will open that way. If it opens, look at the hinged end, you will probably see a piece of plastic, which holds a piece of bent springy metal. If the bent piece of metal is missing, you need to buy another at a Toyota dealer parts dept. If the bent piece of metal IS there, bend it further open to increase the tension. Try this, & if neither helps, get back to me for further info.

[Removing/Repairing Gas Filler Door Hinge: Tip from Bill Peyton]   The gas door hinge will break if pushed forward.  This is usually done by moving around the car with the door open, or by curious children.  The repair job can be done completely from the exterior. 
 
The black plastic hinge is held in place by four plastic rods.  When pushed through the body of the car, they expand four rubber sleeves located on the interior, thereby holding the whole thing in place. 
Remove as follows: 
Open the door, and using a small punch, push the four plastic rods through to the interior of the car.  The door will now come out.  Note the position of the spring and the hinge.  Remove the spring from the old hinge, and either cut or pry our the old hinge.  This is a black plastic piece. 
The ends of the new hinge are tapered to make it easier to insert into the gas door.  Clip the spring back into place. 
Now for the hard part.  You will see on the new hinge four plastic rods.  These are held onto the hinge by four small connections, all molded into a single piece.  On the other side of the hinge are four plastic “flowers” split into four pieces.  You will need to push the plastic rods through the “flowers”, once the “flowers” are pushed through to the interior of the car.   Since the rods are not free floating, they tend to break off and fly away unless you hit them squarely.  If this happens, put a little taper in the ends, place them back in the hold, and push them through.  A punch and a hammer will be essential.  Alternatively, you can break the rods off while the piece is off the car, insert them manually, and drive them in again with the punch.
