Default Doors on RAMBOX rattling while driving...

I have a 2009 crew cab 1500 with rambox .. truck as 4,500 miles on it .. last week i noticed a rattle when hitting bumps in the road .. i did investigating and found that i hear the doors rattling on the rambox while driving .. is there an adjustment on the hinge to suck down the doors a little more onto the rubber gasket to tighten the doors up some ? .. i cant find an adjustment anywhere ..

thanks

I got 6200 miles on my truck so far, all is good with the ram box. You sure its not a seat beat making the noise? Passage side front seat belt is famous for this and some times the back ones to.

I'm an idiot. I have been looking at the latch and noticed it has 2 stages to it .. you push each door down lightly and it latches in the 1st stage. Then to secure the door, you push down on it with much more force and it latches a 2nd time much more securely .. similar to any car door ..

duh .. im an idiot .. just figured it out 5 minutes ago ... no more rattling ! .. no wonder i would occasionally get water in my boxes .. i wasn't shutting the doors completely !!! ..

yay !

With 3 months and 8K on mine, I have noticed that the driver-side RamBox lid is starting to "ride high" - even when fully latched. I made mention of this to the Service Rep when it was in for it's Oil Change (6.2K), but he couldn't determine an adjustment either. The lid stops fore and aft are raised, but solid with no adjustments.
Hmmm...
