Question Driver side door question???

I have noticed that when ever i hit a bump in the road or something like that I can hear my door moving around. I can grab the door while car is still and move the door in and out, does anyone know if there is any way to adjust the door? I figured you may be able to adjust the latch mounted on the car, tried yesterday with no luck, its not adjustable.

I would start by checking all the bolts that hold it to the car. If they are loose, the door would have some wiggle room inside the holes the bolts go into.

I believe the catch on the body has some adjustment room in it.

I believe the Shop Manual describes it in detail...

ok, i looked at the manual that was posted and on the striker adjustment link it says you can adjust it but when i took the bolts out you can adjust it there are two holes in it (one hole for each screw) and the screws are sunk down in the striker plate with no room for adjustment. thats why i am saying it makes no sense.
