'06 Patrol Doors

Snoopyone,

i am not quite sure what the pillars are, but if they are the 'U' type that is bolted on the wheel arch, then they are as tight as anything. i had to get a breaker bar with a phillips head on it to loosen them. but after loosening them, i didnt see anywhere to make an adjustment.

When you shut the doors the locks clip over what looks like a piece of U shaped 3/8 rebar usually held against the pillars usually by two countersunk bolts which have a security socket head on them. They are normally adjustable inward and outward.

The Pillars are the bits that the dors hang on A. pillar front doors
The one the back doors hang on the B pillar. THey could also be worn where the clip in the lock grabs over them when doors are shut.

The back doors rattled and banged on my Patrol so was an easy fix.

Bought a Cruiser No more rattles ever LOL

snoopy1,
my 3/8 rebar does not move inward or outward, and they are not held in place by any security bolts. only philip head screws. i already tried turning the rebar 180 deg but that didnt work either. could it be a trip to the wreckers for parts?

Trip to the dealer may reveal more I guess or ask on the Patrol Forum

Try searching herehttp://www.patrol4x4.com/forum/ It is a common problem especially the rear barn doors. I found with mine if I slammed them fairly hard there was no problem. Some people have glued a piece of rubber where the light button strikes.

Cheers Dave.

That would be a quick fix to stop the dash light coming on but I think my problem is mechanical as when the door is shut, I can push it from the outside and still get movement.
