    2016 4 door Tacoma --

    When I was cleaning my truck today I noticed a shinny spot on the lip of the driver's door.

    The place I'm talking about is where the bottom of the driver's door joins with the "threshold" of the body.

    It appears to me that my door is dragging ever so slightly.

    I have about a 2" strip where the door has rubbed the paint down to bare metal.

    Anyone else ever have this problem?

    Anyone looked inside of their driver's door to observe such a problem.


    This truck has 5K miles and is mostly city driven.

    Thanks for your thoughts and comments.

    If your local Dealer has a body shop, it should be a matter of a minor door/ hinge adjustment, and a retouching of the paint.

    WTB pics. If it is what you're suspecting the dealer should touch that up for you without any hassle.

    I'm on the road but I'll try to post pics later.

    I'm a long time Toyota buyer (30+) years.

    This poor quality surprised me.

    I've got an 02 Camry which still looks pristine.
