coolasice will become famous soon enough

check you door pin bushings, with the door slightly open, grab it and pull up, if it moves your bushings/pins need replacing.

It dosnt look like the bushings are the same size On my 01 the bottom pin nails down and the top pin hammers up. The bigger bushing is closer to the pins head. IMO Prolly check YOUR passenger door with a flashlight

Sometimes if you have bad body mounts or rust in their areas (mostly the ones under doors hinges), the cabin becomes kind of twisted and not well leveled, which causes doors misalignment.

my body sags a bit cause of broken upper cab mounts, once i get them replaced, they will be back to normal.
