Default Door adjustment

Sup, My drivers side door on my Tahoe needs to pull in more. I'm getting wind noise, and the dreaded "door rattle" whenever I hit bumps. I've tried looseing the strike and pushing it over but it won't, also tried the latch on the door wtf? How the hell do you adjust that thing?

Might be time for some new weatherstrip. Sometimes if you clean it and wipe some silicon spray on them thats works.

Naw man the door actually is popping out further than the back door, about 3/8s of an in.. Push the door a little bit and it looks and seals great? Any suggestions or other sites to try?

Thanx Jason

Not sure about a cure for your wind noise but that rattle in your door is most likely caused by loose bolts on the inner door. I've had the same problem. Remove your door panel and tighten those bolts back up and the rattle should go away. I have an article on how to remove the door panel up at my website.
