Has anyone tried adjusting their striker, or better yet does any else have there driver or passenger door not flush with the body? My driver side sticks out a little when closed. From the inside it doesn't have a strong latched feel when opening it. Still closes seals and locks. Not sure if I should try to slide it back a hair, if I can at all.

Yes.

Get the proper sized Torx bit, loosen the bolts a little from the strike plate and the striker moves in (towards interior) or out (towards exterior). Just move it slightly to interior, tighten and test door.

I had to adjust my driver door, passenger side was fine. After doing so, the door closed much better AND no more window 'bounce' on closing (which was annoying).

Here's the helpful thread for others:

Add a piece of tape (horizontal and vertical) to highlight the current position; use that to gauge how much you need to move the striker.

I noticed this over the bottom of my passenger door.

Are you referring to something looking like this? The door is closed in the below pic. The door edge sticks out a little bit.

No, mine is pretty much the exact same issue Cobra Jet linked.

Resurrecting zombie thread. It's a T40 if you're interested. This made a huge difference on my driver's side door. Super easy.

I had to do the same. My drivers door stuck out about 3 mm past the rear quarter edge. I loosened the striker and pushed in and re tightened. It helped a lot.
