One of my cargo doors won't stay latched even when locked, I can pull it open and it comes open while driving. Is there a procedure to adjust the latch so it will fully engage?
Thank you
Jeff

Year and model trailer? Which specific cargo door? (Helps if you fill out your signature line--see mine below as an example.)
Even better, take a picture of the offending latch/door and post it so we can see exactly what you're referencing.

Yes - I had the same issue - the driver side pass through door on my 2670. It has the "slam latch" instead of earlier models with cam latches. Even locked, a tug would pull it out. Unfortunately, on mine, the cover plate and latch hardware is riveted - and I don't have a rivet set. I took it to my dealer as part of my new-purchase shakedown list, and they ended up shimming the strike plate at the bottom of the hatch trim. Now it is secure.
The best news is - that was the biggest single issue I found after delivery.
I am having the same issue with the front passenger side cargo compartment. Does anyone have pictures of what the shim solution looks like? Has anyone performed this fix themselves?
