Drivers door is not fully closed
 
Hi.
Just bought 2005 Sebring.
Noticed one problem.
When I close the door it seems that its not fully closed, compared to rear door.
My guess it might be lock?
Any suggestions?
Thanks a lot.

Could be the latch not working properly or the striker needing adjustment. Could be a sign of poorly repaired collision damage. You should be able to check the operation of the latch mechanism using a screwdriver to simulate engagement with the striker plate. If the latch is woking properly, look for proper adjustment.

Thanks for the answer. Latch seems to be working fine. Maybe I can move striker inwards. Have to check that.

Moved striker bit inwards, seems to do the trick. Thanks.
