door allignment
See the attached picture (not my jeep). My doors (front only) do not line up with the body contour in the area in the circle-- the rest fits fine, including the entirity of the back doors. This is on both front doors. Is this just my jeep or others experiencing this
My Driver door is not flush at the bottom either ... gap is correct but not flush. Passenger door is perfect ...
I think it's a hinge adjustment issue .. not the striker. If you adjust just the striker then the top of the door would be in too far ...
The correct thing would be to adjust the lower front hinge ... but this would definitely mess up the factory paint so I haven't screwed around with it.

My passenger side front door is like you described. It's not bad enough for me to do anything about it, but it doesn't fit as well as the other doors. I don't see how it will cause any problems though, and so far I'm the only one to notice it.

my passanger side was sticking out a little and adjusted the striker and it worked for me. i would try this first before tinkering with the hinge. my door now sits flush.
