door gap adjust?
Hi
My 69's passenger door seems to be always ajar slightly.
I've adjusted the door striker as far as it will go inwards but there is still a slight gap.
Is there any other adjustment that can be made?

Are your body / frame mounts good? If they are deformed it can twist your body ...

There are shims on the hinges. Removing shims will bring the door in. Mark all the shim stacks
before you start making changes.
Have you replaced the door main weatherstrips? New door mains can sometimes make the door stand out until they take a set.
