Clunk in driver side door over bump

Anyone else have this?

If I run over some bumps ot jerk the wheel to flex the frame my driver side door has a clunk.

Its an ex cab, When parked I can open the driver door and move the 2nd door ever so slightly.

How can I tighten the ex cab door so its tighter to the body?

Mine does that also. I think it just comes with the territory since there is no pillar there for the door to clost against. Too much flex. If I had it to do over again I'd have bought a screw. It also annoys the crap out of me if somebody closes the front door first. I make em walk.

Mine did this and I took it back to the dealer and they adjusted the rear door. That's what the warranty is for. Sometimes you have to shut it pretty hard or it will only partialy latch and rattle.

Did they fix your's completely? Is it a scab? I've noticed that too, you have to shut them pretty hard. Mine could need adjusted too I guess, haven't tried, but I know lots of these trucks I've been it rattle some. I think it is going to have a little more tendency to do this.

It totally fixed mine. Mine is a reg cab but the latch setup is the same as the Scab. I talked to others before about this and when they had it adjusted it got rid of the rattle.
