So I'm driving and it's raining, and my door is leaking! I shuck my finger in the passengers door jam and it is MUCH tighter than the drivers. My question is... is there an adjustment I can do?

Sounds like your door latch/striker bolt is worn.

First, try a couple wraps of electrical tape around the striker assembly.

This might tighten up your door, but its only a temp solution. worth a try though!

Haven't fixed mine yet, but a body shop buddy told me that the bushing tends to wear on these big heavy doors causing them to sag from the hinges, that could also be your problem, not usually a tough fix, unless you're doing it by yoruself on a big heavy door.

If you go to a local parts store you can pick up the new pins and bushings for about 5 bucks each. One pin one bushing per box. You will need two for each door. Its not too hard you will just need someone to hold the door for you while you knock out the old and put in the new. I put a jack under my door to hold it up haha. Easy 10 minute job for both doors. You might as well do both it helps em close alot better.
