Rear door drama

Hi guys new to the forum just brought myself a 2010 VX prado love the car not sure about the kdss but my question is has anyone had any dramas with the rear door it seems as though ours is lining up correctly but every time we go over a bump such as speed bumps there is a loud but dull thud. I've looked at the hinges and they seem ok but there is a wear point on the doorframe at the top, almost worn down to metal any help would be greatly appreciated.

Hi
We have a 2010 GXL with the same problem including the Squeak. Got stuck into it on the weekend and fixed both. As the door has no adjustment I rotated the receiver latch as it had wear marks and expanded the other receiver with a screw driver so it was a tighter fit . All noise has now gone.
Why doesn't Mr Toyo make these parts adjustable ???

Thanks Poppy Joe just had a little play with what you suggusted, and its improved the rattle and clunk, but still not 100% i think it might just be that the car has seen a lot of outback Kms and constant vibration on dirt roads with the added weight of the spare wheel on the back may have bent the pins on the hinges I have heard that this is common with patrols as the wheels are mounted on the back of the door as well.
