Explicit resolution reports before identified causes, performed actions and suggestions. Within each level, matching component labels precede direct query mentions and inherited thread context; successful versus unsuccessful discussion counts, owner confirmations and independent discussion support determine order. This is not a probability of success.

Two weeks ago during a visit to the dealer they fixed it and now the door is adjusted properly so adjusting the door closer to the frame is possible.

If you look closely you will see a vertical line & a horizontal line on the paint above and on the side of the striker loop which is used to adjust & center it.

When I bought my car a few months ago the driver side door stuck out a little too much making it uneven with the rear quarter panel. Two weeks ago during a visit to the dealer they fixed it and now the door is adjusted properly so adjusting the door closer to the frame is possible.

BTW, I used tape on the latches of each door and they both strike at the same point, so I don't think the door needs raised or lowered.

Coverage and how to read this overview

Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

2 eligible posts · 0 unverified posts · 1 discussions match the subject in their title or opening post.

Planet-9: 1 discussions

0 evidence records excluded for query context · 0 excluded by outcome qualification · 1 adjusted by outcome qualification.

0 acknowledgements have no verified action link; they do not establish a repair result.

POST 1Original post

My passenger side door makes rattle and knocking sounds, and I think it is because the door just isn't closing tight enough. How do I adjust this? It doesn't look like the striker plate/loop on the body is really adjustable that way. Am I supposed to loosen the torx bolts surrounding the latch on the actual door and move the latch towards the outside of the door? Or are those torx bolts not used for adjustment? BTW, I used tape on the latches of each door and they both strike at the same point, so I don't think the door needs raised or lowered. I just need the door held in closer. Thanks!

When I bought my car a few months ago the driver side door stuck out a little too much making it uneven with the rear quarter panel. Two weeks ago during a visit to the dealer they fixed it and now the door is adjusted properly so adjusting the door closer to the frame is possible. They loosened the torx screws on the striker loop to move the plate closer to the inside. If you look closely you will see a vertical line & a horizontal line on the paint above and on the side of the striker loop which is used to adjust & center it.
