I read the manual, it gave specs that the door could stick out 1/8 or so and still be Ok, I have a solid straight cab but the pass door is hard to shut, worse with windows up, door has a new latch, I have moved the striker plate all the way out with no change, if I take the striker off, the door seems to close all the way,.... so I drilled out the adjustment holes out so I could slide the striker further outward,, better now but not great, Ideas from other that have been here

Just today I installed door seals and adjusted the striker plate on the drivers side to get the door to close better. What year truck are you working on and pics would help.
