Driver's door won't fully close. - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

Hi.

I am looking at a truck and the driver's door doesn't fully close.

I looked at the striker plate and it looked like it was adjusted all the way in.

The door does latch, it just stays open about an inch or so.

Any ideas? Is this adjustable?

Thanks,

Had to go out and look at the latch and it appear's that the door latch with the tumbler in it click's twice sound's like your is only clicking once??? Could be wrong but I think you need a new door latch let ... If some one also point's this out I may have a spare latch...

check and see if its got new rubber seal sometimes the repos arent right and will cause this

Thanks. I'll look at the seal and the latch.

If I remember correctly, I could push the door flush with the cab, but it didn't stay, it would just pop out an inch or so, so it may be the latch.
