My passenger door catch, on the Tamora, has come loose.

The bolt can spin round and move around in the door.

It doesn't look like the two holes in the catch do anything, and the allen bolts in the side of the door look too far away to do anything.

Is it accessed from inside the door? In which case I assume it is a case of removing the trim from the 3 allen bolts under the door adn then tightening the catch from the inside.

If anyone has done this, any help appreciated, before I get the spanners out.

Cheers.

Go on, be on the bleeding edge

If the gubbins are spinning then there must be something to tighten on the inside.

Fair point.

Finally got the trim off, despite the bolts just spinning around, rather than actually undoing.

The catch is now tight again, but is in slightly the wrong place, so the door isn't quite flush. Still, much better than before and the door has stopped bouncing around.

That's why Dave is such a good passenger.

He's been Griffed.
