Default Passenger Door Problem

Has anyone else had this problem. I recently bought my 2000 GT, and have noticed that my passenger door doesn't close quite right. I have had the latch adjusted, and hasn't fixed the problem. It shuts and latches, but there is still a larger gap than there should be and window doesn't match up correctly, where if I press on the window with the door shut it goes in the weather stipping, but otherwise is on the outside. Any help?

Get a carfax see if the car has been t-boned. You will need to take it to a body shop and they can do a fender/door alignment that should fix the prob. Probably charge you an hour or two of labor.

I did a carfax...no problems reported, and I bought it from someone I trust.

I actually work for AutoTrader.com, so I definately trust where I got it from. I was just wondering if anyone had this problem before, and if there was an easy fix.
