I followed the information in this forum to add a rear window rolldown switch to the hatch of my 2002 4Runner. I used a factory rear window switch from the front of a 3rd gen 4runner. However, it was too long to fit, so I designed the extension mount to lift it off the hatch. It snaps into place and holds the switch well.

Note that 01 and 02 4runners must be wired differently. Read through the whole forum before wiring. Here is a video from PhoRunner that details how to perform the mod on an earlier 3rd gen 4runner:
Additionally, I wanted to be able to open the hatch from the inside of my 4runner. I followed this tutorial:

I also designed a handle to make it easier to open. I added a 4mm M3 heat set insert and used a 10mm long M3 hex screw to hold the bike cable to the handle.
I suggest to print these models out of either PETG or ABS. PLA will deform in warmer temperatures.
