Door adjustment?

Hey guys, I need to adjust my drivers door. I have to give it a pretty good ride to close all the way, anything less it just closes in the half way. My passenger door shuts sooo sweet. Light swing it closes all the way. How can I adjust my drivers door to be the same?


Thanks

Look to see if the striker is lined up properly while slowly closing it (might need a flashlight and a dab of grease on the striker to see imprint.) If the hinges are sagging you'd need to replace them first. If its just not closing all the way without slamming it, the striker could be loosened outwards slightly, but you need to watch you don't get a rattling door then ;)

Seems like I remember my dad putting a 2x6 under the door and into the jam and prying up the door lol.

Might be time for hinges if it's slop up and down... :(

jeff i looked at it when i painted the top of the car , it shuts the way it does because your car has been hit, i dont think there is anything you can do for it, you also need to beat that huge hump out of the driverside front floor pan my god! looks like someone drove your car onto a boulder.
