Loosening striker bolts enough for gentle hammer taps to move it, tweak it up-down, in-out til latch engages upon closing door. My door adjustmnebnt is close, requireing a moderately firm pressure of my hand as door comes closed. Otherwise, the door bounces when slammed shut, latch catching at door not fully cl;osed. Passenger side door does latch without the hand presssure.
