[TR] door adjustment on TR4

[wbeech at flash.net]

Mule rider,

Striker plates do wear, have you tried trading it with the driver's side?  

But, it sounds more like your door is twisted or the hinges are not quite
right.  Is the door flush top-to-bottom at the A piller(front) when closed?
I am not a TR4 guy so I don't know how much, if any, adjustment you have.

Just about  pulling the last of the hair I have out.
I cannot get the passenger door adjusted where it will close easily (like
the drivers side).
I have tried setting the striker on the right to the same location as the
left side and it made no difference.  Don't think that there is a hinge
issue as the front of the door panel where is meets the body is all in a
line.
The rear end of the passenger door where is meets the body is skewed with
the bottom being flush and the top sticking out about 3/4 to 1".
It just doesn't close solidly.
Is it possible that the striker is bad?
Any suggestions would be appreciated.
Thanks
