Thanks guys. The striker looks ok. I'm wondering if I'm not getting to the second position. The weather stripping is actually old....REALLY old. So bad that if I bump it, chunks crack off. I guess as an initial test, I could just remove it all then try and close the door. If I can close the door correctly, the issue is probably weather stripping.

I'll see if I can get a pic of the hardware to post here just in case I can't see something that you all can. Passenger side works fine, so I could also use that to compare.
