    Hi I have an 08 access cab trd sport and I have a problem with the passenger rear door, it is difficult to open compared to the driver rear door, I must forced the door handles to open it, what do you think I can do to make it like the rear driver door, easy to open? Have you met this problem too?

    No I don't think it's a lubricating problem because it is easy to play with the handle but the problem i think it's because the handle is on his limit and the door is not yet open so I need to forced the handle, I can't explain very well because I speak french, I hope you can understand my problem, thanks

    Let the dealer fix it. It might need an adjustment.

    If that doesn't work. There are people on here that are very mechanically inclined & probably can tell you what to adjust.
