adjust door?

My passenger side door closes hard. I noticed the latch is cutting into the striker. Is there an adjustment for this?

Thanks.

Bad Hinge

You can try to adjust the striker post, but usually the hinges need to be replaced. They are known for wearng out.

Sounds like your hinge pin bushings a worn. With door open, lift up on it to see if they are loose or lift up on door when you close it. If pins are loose it will let the door drop. Easy fix-change pins and bushings.

Of all my favorite things to do, The utmost is to have a brew.
My love grows for my foamy friend, with each thirst-quenching elbow bend.
Beer so frosty, smooth, and cold it's paradise pure liquid gold.
Yes beer means many things to me that's all for now cus I gotta pee.

Drive pins out--bushing will come out easy--install new bushing by tapping in --drive in new pins.
