My passenger door seems a little right. How do I adjust it so it isn't quite as hard to close? Do I loosen the two large phillips screws on the bracket in the door jam or the three hex screws in the door itself?

Thanks!
 
The 3 hex screws on the doors have no adjustment, they are there only to fix the door locker.
Just loosen the 2 large ones on the door jam yes, just enough so you can move the bracket with some gentle hamering, but tight enough so it won´t move while closing the door.
Then when you found the correct adjustment, just re-tight the screws :wink:
 
BUT....... before you strip the screw heads you need to tap it with an impact driver.

to get them loose. if you dont the screw heads will strip and you will then
you make a new thread called " how to get the screws out "

I would do like Hugabuga said tap it from the side.

use a flathead screwdriver place it on the side of the striker
and tap it with a hammer.

you will see it move a little, close door see if you like the new door location.
if not tap again. now if you over tap it

well them you need to try and tap it in the other direction

messin with fire is my last statement.
 
At what point od I want to adjust it but not let air pass through the window seals? Any advice?
