To close the passenger door, you REALLY have to slam the hell out of it. I just replaced the striker and bushing, and now the door won't even open! I think i recall being able to move the door up and down while it was open... what part do i need to adjust/replace? How the hell do I get the door open???

 

Sounds like DOOR PINS! my notch did that and bought the parts for 5 bucks to fix it. TO get the other door open, push from the outside while lifting the door handle then pull out.

 

Yeah i got the door open, and now that I look, the top door pin (driver side) is upside down....WTF was the last guy doing??? I'll definitely be replacing them

 

haha the door pin on my drivers side is upside down too. i noticed when i twas half out. but i didnt have time so i just pounded it back up.

 

they face different directions bc u have to able to insert them from at least one side

 

So the drivers side pin SHOULD be upside down?

 

yes

 

well there 2 things that can be going on
to be safe first remove that bolt and make sure the door fits in the
hole squarely push by hand closed, if it does not then you need to adjust your hinges to make the door fit and givegood body lines, from that point you will to adjust the stricker bolt till the door shuts smoothly and the depth is correct
this is the basic way you adjust doors to get proper fit
