Hi I have a 2010 150 Prado and the rear door is loose as I can move it on the catch is there any adjustment so I can get it to sit tight again?

I have had the same problem with my 2010 GXL and I recently read on here from someone (who I cannot remember) to simply turn the striker on the door frame (not on the door) up the other way and it fixed the problem instantly for me, hopefully it works for you. Cheers Dean

That was me I think.

More to the story, you can also adjust it by loosening off the bolts and tapping it up or down. The captive nuts inside the body will actually move.

We actually did this on the aligner thingo also (below the striker) and lifted it so it's taking the weight of the door. When I flipped the striker it was 80% better. Once I adjusted it all, it's now 100% better and 2 weeks in.

Thanks guys
I didn't realise that anyone had replied I thought I would get a notification or an email so I've only just checked back.

I just tried adjusting the captive nuts and it worked 100% thanks for that. I did have to give it a few firm taps with a hammer to get them to move.
