Humongo, did you adjust the bottom hinge in or the top out, to get the back bottom corner to sit flush?

Ours too. It seals fine, and shuts good. I hate to take it to the dealer, when they'll problem screw it up worse.

My problem seems to fit right in here, but it is a bit different. I have walked away from my 4dr a few times now and slammed the door as I left. I return to find it handing wide open. I have to work the door opener then re-close to get it to catch. I don't think is an alignment problem, but I guess it could be by not rotating the door catch completely as it opens. Any thoughts??

Took mine to the dealer and they flat out told me that there was no adjustment in the doors, they could just take them off the hinge and put them back on, I drove all that way for that brilliance! I am going to try another.

Do a search, there are threads a long time ago about this. I think it has to do with locking your doors before you shut it.

I found it! https://www.jk-forum.com/forums/stock-jk-tech-12/door-closing-lock-latch-problem-412/
