Hi

Passenger door works like a charm, grabs and pulls tight when closing like a new car .  Guess bc it was used a lot more drivers door doesnt grab very well and doesnt pull tight.  I replaced the door striker bolt.  Is there any adjustment that will help or do I need to replace something else?  Anyone who has worked through this please offer advice.

Thanks

Don

 
Should be able to adjust with the door bolt.  Areas to check are the hinges.  Try lifting up on the door in the wide open position and then right before you close it.  See if you have any movement.  If so then you might need to replace them.  Also could be the door latch itself is worn.  Check the door rubber bumpers and gasket too.
