I have a 96 C3500 CCLB. I have been searching the forums for a couple of days and have not found a suitable answer to my quandry.
Front passenger door doesn't close all the way. I have carefuly checked to ensure that the latch is closing all the way. With that out of the way looked at the condition of the latch, it apears to be fairly new, the nylon coating on the catches seems to be intact. The door in question is out about 1/4in at the back where the latch is in comparison to the back door. in addition the door seals dont make contact at the back of the door. The gap is excesive enough that water pours in when it rains and the wind noise if deafening at 65mph. it also "clunks" vissibly swinging closed and back out to where the latch cathes it. The door can be pushed in easly but seems to hit a hard stop right where it is fush with back door. All that being said can some one steer me in the right direction? I'm kinda old school where everthing had an adjustment but these doors don't seem to have one adjustment anywhere. One other observation is that the pin appears to be "angled out". I am a bit leary of just bending it back in as I am worried that it will affect the integrity of the sheet metal.
I have seen where people are bending the top of the door back in to fix minor issues but in my situation the reveal is even at the top and bottom and bending the top in will only fix the top and not the bottom.
Thank you!
