Large rear barn door was not locking in the top catch.
After a lot of adjusting the horizontal guide and jamb catch etc.
Then finally removing the catch cover from door itself to see it sticking in the unlocked position .
Good spray of dry lube and sweet again top catch now locking as the nissan gods intended.
believe this may be a common issue.
tell tale for mine was a squeak in the top latch.

Rear large barn door had a noise/squeak in the tension arm slide.
Not the locking arm on the bottom of door.
The arm slips through the middle of a small rectangular block housed inside the door cavity.
Within the box are opposing springs with a nylon block and a roller bearing each side of the arm.
The spring & bearings apply pressure to the arm to slow door movement etc.
I disassembled it to find----
Trouble is the bearing is only mild steel, in-turn it can stop turning and then flat spot against the arm.
The flat spot grabs on the arm when you open/close the door creating squeak/chattery noise.
Disassemble, replace bearing with a offcut from a tensile bolt shaft.
Clean, re-grease, reassemble, Good to go , no more squeak.
In hindsight next bearings you replace from another job keep some needles you never know when ya might need 1.
Bearing is 7mm dia x 16 mm long.

Did a testing the weekend towing the outlaws much smaller/full height 2 ton 18ft van.
Same test as before up ourimbah hill sitting on 90kph.
outside temp was about 27 again so equal test.
Good new temps were much more moderate 85-90 Deg C.
verdict was simply me pushing to hard with much larger/heavier load in the past.
cruising along was 82-85 C depant on grade so again all good.
