I had the same problem with both doors after paint. They closed ok, but rubbed the bottom of the door against the kick plate and rubbed off the new paint. As I wanted to put inserts on the kick plates it wouldn't work until the problem was fixed, and it would rust there if I left it. I took it to my local body shop, and they had a tool that fit the latch and under the door to lift it. They had both adjusted in less than an hour. Sometimes having the right tools for the job saves lots of time,.....
