Anybody know how to adjust vehicle door latches? What I want to do is adjust the striker (the part screwed onto the body a tiny amount, so that the door closes at a slightly different position. When you loosen the striker plate, does it move every which way, or is the way it's designed allow you to only move it in or out? This goes back to a problem I had with my access cab doors, and would take too long to explain here, but I would rather learn to do this myself so my anal-retentivity can be satisfied. I,m only talking less than 1/16". any advice would be appreciated.

well my truck had a little closing issue..asnt bad made a clank and didnt close real smooth....all I did was loosen up that latches on the access door..shut the front door with it loose then tighten it back up..just lossen it enough it the door will move it not on its own so it stays in place...after that door closes alot better
Are we talking about the same thing? I'm calling it the striker plate, the metal D-ring looking thing, but you're calling it a latch. I would call the mechanism in the door the latch. I just want to make sure I understand. Also, it sounds like you adjusted your front door, but you said you loosened the latche(s) on the access door, I'm a little confused by that procedure.05XRunner said:

Also if you haven't yet, deaden the hell out of the front and rear doors. When I did my front doors it helped alot, I need to deaden my rear doors and look into adjusting the latches like Jungleman did.

Excuse me for thread jacking but...
Have you guys noticed that it's somewhat harder to close the driver's side door compared to the rest of the doors. I always have to close it harder than the other ones or else it won't close. It really pisses me off. This is the only problem I have had with the truck. The dealer said it was normal. I've never witnessed any phenomena like it!!:lol:
Chime in if this has happened to you.:smokin:

Of course he did. That's what they say so that you won't press the issue and make them fix it.AlpineJLAudio said:

makes sense to me it's the door that gets opened the most. it's probably engineered to LAST, like most Toyotas!:thumbup:NorCalTacoma said:
Mine's like that also (from new). Dealer 'adjusted' it twice. Little or no change. I just put up with it, but it's not what I expected from Toyota.NorCalTacoma said:
