I picked up my LE CC 4x4 this week (a week early!) I was troubled by the effort required to close the side storage bin, which of course my dealer said was "typical". It really took a slam to close it. For those of you with the same concern, just loosen the two 10mm bolts holding the loop or catch inside the bin, pull the catch toward you while tightening and the problem is solved. A nice firm push is all it will take. All the trucks on my dealer's lot were the same, so I assume many of us are having the same problem. I try to avoid going to the dealer as much as possible for issues I can take care of myself. Hope this is useful.

You are absolutely right about this antone! I have to slam mine shut and don't like that aspect when I am showing the storage bin to non Titan owners. I figure that Nissan designed it to be a little hard to close so that it will compress the seal and make it watertight. They made it too tight however. Thanks for the tip. I'm going outside right now to fix mine.
