Default Re: Does your driver side door stick out just enough to bother you when its closed?

WTF guys!!!

I was hoping i wasnt the ONLY one. I just bought the car with 450 miles on it. The carfax was clean and the car looks flawless except for this...maybe i really am just an OCD **** retentive SOB but i just spent the last two hours taking measurements of the striker and what not and have yet to come up with a solid conclusion. The striker is NOT adjutable. When you remove the 2 torx screws you see there is a plastic insert and it has two alignment tabs so it can only be installed one way.

I will also like to note my car is black maybe this makes it more appearant. Also, the area that appears un-flush is only the area from the door handle up....from the door handle down looks fine.

If i push hard on the upper part it looks better aligned until i let off, then it goes back to where it was...this almost leads me to believe the rubber seal is thicker than it should be up top, but that sounds rediculous.

I must be on crack....but this is really irking me. Thanks to everyone who actually went out and checked.
