How to adjust door tightness on a supercab

I noticed my passenger side door is not flush with the back door, maybe 1/16 to 3/16 of an inch.

The back supercab door appears to be tight but it's the front door that needs to shut tighter with the back.

How do you adjust the catch pins to make the door shut tighter?

I have not looked at it yet to see for myself on what it takes, if it was not -10 out I would be


Thanks

Josh

The catch pins are not adjustable, all door adjustments are at the hinges. If you PM me, I can email you a pdf with instructions for adjusting the rear doors, the fronts are similar. When my front door wasn't closing tight enough, it was actually the rears that were loose, you could see the bottom of the rear door bounce a bit when you closed the front.

Probably storage space, viruses, that sort of thing.

I'd copy and paste, but too much get's lost in the translation.

I didn't realize how many people would want these instructions, please remember to include your email address when you PM.
