How to adjust the doors strcker post weather strip install

Hello All,

I recently installed new weather stripping on the ranger and that went well enough. Now I am having issues adjusting to the door strikers. I had adjusted them a bit a few years ago to help the wind noise. Now the doors are a bit hard to close. Have to kind of slam them shut.

Is it just trail and error.

Thanks,



BOB

Just a bit of follow up.

I did a better job of aligning the doors when I actually looked at the doors lines and creases matching up with the body. So, look at the door to see how it aligns with the body and use those creases as reference points. Seems obvious but it was not so much when I would doing it. The forest from the trees type of thing. It seems much better now. Not perfect but good and for now that’s good enough for me. Seems obvious but it was not so much when I would was doing it. The forest from the trees type of thing.
