Well if it's not sagging then that may not be the problem. Mine was obvious: gap at the top, tight at the bottom, and a jog at the line of the two tone paint. The lower front edge was even catching the back edge of the fender and making a loud noise when it popped over. After I changed the pins and bushings and that didn't help, I actually adjusted the fender forward just a little.

I don't think there is any adjustment on the striker bolt. If the door latch itself isn't working right then I have no idea - maybe it needs to be replaced?
