Door Rattle

Door Rattle
My passenger side rear door rattles whenever I hit a bump, especially at slower speeds such as a speed bump. It almost sounds like the door isnt closing all the way. When I shut the passenger side front door, it kinda makes a slight rattle sound as well. its just not as solid sounding as the drivers side door. I also have to slam the suiced door pretty hard to make both the top and bottom latch up, so I know there in lies the "problem"
I tried messing with the striker, but couldnt figure out how to move them around. Theres only one place that they can go due to the screws holding them in place.
I also tried having the dealership fix this, but they couldn't do it and said that some trucks just do it and there is no fix. I dont buy that. Its been doing it since new, but just seems to be more annoying now... I guess cause the "new truck" stigma is wearing off lol. This is really annoying.
Anyone have this issue or know what I can do to minimize or fix the problem?

yeah, right after I got my 'new' used truck, I found the passenger side rear door wouldn't close properly ... I took it back to the used dealer where I got it (which also happens to be a body shop) and told them about the problem, they took it right in and re-aligned the rear door, now it closes better ... well at least I don't have to slam it to get it to stay closed.
Try taking your ride to a body shop and see if they can fix it for ya. might charge ya an hour of shop time, but hey, if it fixes the door, it's worth it right?
