So my back drive side door seems to be the only door on the truck that doesn’t look 100%. All the other doors sit flush along with the cab. This one sticks out a bit instead of flush. I can’t tell what is keeping it sticking out some. I tried loosening the latch and pushing on it some to maybe pull in tighter but that didn’t do anything as I guess there is no adjustment on those and they are just torx screws that center themselves. I didn’t want to mess with the hinges (on truck side) as I would break the paint sprayed over top of them. Any thoughts what could be causing this? I’m not sure there is any issue or doesn’t seem to leak but still bugs the hell out of me. The first image is the passenger side. Looks great. The rest are the driver rear.

I’d hate to take it to the dealer. Who knows what they would screw up trying to fix. May just have to suck it up and live with it.

Door Striker needs adjusting. Not that big of a deal. Probably could do it yourself but worth a dealer visit if not confident in such things.

Oh I have no problem doing my own stuff. I just honestly did not know the striker was adjustable. I prob just need to slide it in more to suck the door in more.

First time I have seen a post on this. My 2021 JTM has the same issue, same door. I was going to adjust the striker as well. It didn’t really bother me until my wife said something about the door not being flush after we got back from Death Valley trip a few weeks ago. Wondering if striker is a little loose and moved out a little during a hard hit out on the trail.
