What would cause this?

[oncedisturbed]

Had to get some stuff out the back of troll and noticed stress fractures on the door. Any idea what would cause it?

Do you have another photo, I'm having trouble working out which part of a door that is?

Sorry bud, bad news, this is far more common than you would think. Its a stress fracture and it will be at the base of the window frame at the top of the door. Bugger. Off to the Panel shop mate for a weld up and touch up. Nissan will not help, sorry.

Not a really big fix but a fix all the same. get it welded before further damage results.

I am going to nissan this morning, i rang them yesterday as it is still under new car warranty and said bring it in. The guy i spoke to reckens he's never heard of it so it is going to be interesting

What size spare wheel do you have hanging on the rear door?

If it's larger then standard I would put the original wheels back on, before taking it to Nissan.

Have ya got "big" tyres if ya do i wouldnt let nissan know you were hanging big rubber off the spare wheel carrier. If not hit em up for a replacement/repair

Standard size at's on it. It goes to arb in march ti get fully set up including a kaymar rear bar a 33's but the spare wont be hanging off the door.

Do you use the spare wheel as a step up to get up to the roof rack at all?
