Help identifying clicking noise from driver side door

Hi, I own a 2017 Double cab Taco and started noticing this “clicking” noise on my driver side door every time I open or shut it. To me it sounds like “metal is hitting on metal”. Haven’t done any modifications to the fenders, door, no accident etc.

I created a little sound clip and I’m hoping you guys would be able to help me identify this noise. Thank you.

I don't hear a squeaking sound - more like a "click."
Have you tried lubricating the mechanism with the detents that hold the door at various degrees of open?

 

Is all the hardware tight on the mechanisms? I also hear it as more of a clicking, which sometimes happens when loose hardware allows linkages and mechanisms to shift slightly. In other words, the bolts are a touch loose and things have a little play

 

Yeah I agree with you. It’s more of a clicking sound for sure. I haven’t lubricated anything yet. At first I thought my door was hitting the fender or the mechanism could be bent?

 

I’ll try tightening everything up. Thank you

 

I had a new Honda a few years back with a similar popping noise as the door opened.
It was the door edge rubbing on the fender as it swung open.
I'd check for paint damage along the front edge of the door and watch the door clearance as it's opening.

 

Definitely no squeaking.

 

Yea. Chose the wrong word. More like clicking

 

Morning TW

 

Did anyone solve this? My ‘21 is now doing this same thing. Thanks

 

These 2 gold colored nuts were very loose. Fixed the issue!
