Door Adjust - Dealer Cannot Get me in Until May!!

[Binfordtools]

Hi all. My 2021 Willys has had this noise coming from the driver's side door since last year. It clunks from the door striker area on rough roads and I can see when I open the door that it drops down ever so slightly (a couple of mm's). The door appears to be aligned with the rest of the body so I have to assume it's the striker. It now has a wind leak in that area too.
I called my local dealer to make an appointment and they said they are booking now for May!! Considering it's February and I now have a wind leak, I am sure this will also be a water leak so I need to get this fixed - before May. I am not at all a body repair guy, but if any of you have any advice on how I could fix this I'd appreciate it.

As long as it's just the metal one the body side, the striker as opposed to the latch, just do it yourself. I take mine off every time I put my tube doors on, because they use a different striker. I just marked the original position , and it's good to go. Easy to do in about 5 seconds.
