You have to slam the door to get it to stay shut and even then, the door extends out from the cab about 1/8 of an inch. I took the striker plate off to see how the door sits in the frame. The top near the upper/back part of the window seems to make contact with the cab first. The door from the handle down sticks out about 1/8 of an inch (or maybe a little more). I am assuming I need to make an adjustment at the hinge. Am I adjusting the upper hinge outward or the lower hinge inward? I've never done this before, so any insight/assistance would be appreciated. Here is a picture of the side of the truck.

Give me ambiguity
or give me something else
