When closed, the back of the driver's door protrudes out further than the edge of the quarter panel (photos below). If you push on the door it goes in flush, and then comes back out after you let go (like you are pushing against rubber).
Has anyone encountered this issue? How do you adjust the door so that it sits flush with the quarter panel? Thanks, Steve Attached image(s)

Yes there is adjustment in both the latch and the strike. However judging by the gap you have a rust issue.

(IMG:style_emoticons/default/agree.gif) on both points. There is adjustment in the striker plate and your door gap is way too big. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif) |
