My passenger door on my panel was doing just what you describe. Latch and striker looked good but no matter what I did it was just as you describe. I was ordering some parts one day and decided that for a couple bucks I'd try that little "clip" that you snap over the door latch that catches on the striker.
I put it on and on the first try the door shut solid. I simple couldn't believe it and did a Cherokee Indian dance around the shop. After a year it still works good.
You may want to try it??????
