    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.
