H3 Back door

[Clark]

Hey guys and gal's
Can somebody please tell me how to adjust my back door. I hear a slight rattle and it bothers me. Please thanks!
Plus my driver side door handle seems a little loose. Do I replace it?

Back door - loosen the striker plate and adjust as needed. Door handle: if it's pulling away from the door, it may just need to have the screws tightened. If the assembly seems loose, replace.

Thank you! I appreciate your input!

Take the strike plate off and gently squeeze in a vice then reinstall. Its a common thing especially with 37 tire mounted as spare. It last for about a year or so then needs to be done again. We have been working on a product that will fix this but its low on our list unfortunately.

Wow very interesting thank you

Is the jack inside the door moving? Any items in the cubby? Are the spare tire lug nuts tight? Spare tire mount is tight? If the door is loose I would expect to see some shiny metal to metal indicators.

The door, the jack, the lugs are all tight. I remember a member here in an old post used a small towel wrapped around the plate. and it worked for me too I just
got tired of opening my door and having to re wrap the plate every time. Finally I just rather fix the thing....lol
but thank you for input.

Definitely give the strike a squeeze in a vise and you'll be good to go for a long time.

we'd checked all the standard stuff to no avail only to realize months later that the plastic vent (behind the tire mount) was loose/wiggling.

Thank you will do

my rattle ended up being that stupid jack inside the door ,, took a bit of re-arranging to get rid of it

 

[Clark]

I was recommended to tighten this part in a vice? The clunking noise is really trying me patience!
My jack and everything else is tight firmly.

Yes, that's the one.

Thank you!

No its the other side on the door that does not have rubber that you squeeze in vise so it grabs what you have in the picture tighter

Oops, you're right. The one without the rubber.
