My driver's door doesn't seal properly in the upper rear corner. When I look over my shoulder, I can see light coming in from outside the cabin. My door seal looks fine though. After reading and watching different stuff, I have two ideas for solving the issue. First, I could roll the window down and then pull in on the upper corner of the door to try to bend it in ever so slightly; I saw a video where a guy said that car doors can bend out slightly over time, causing an improper seal. Second, I could try moving the striker plate on the door jamb in a tad bit to make the door close tighter. But the door seams to close totally fine, so I am I am reluctant to go messing with the striker plate. I do think the truck was in some sort of collision at some point because the driver's side fender and door don't have an even gap between them, so maybe that screwed the door up. But again, the door opens and closes just fine. Do either of my proposed solutions seem like they could fix my problem? Do you guys have other suggestions for how to fix the improper sealing? My truck is a 2010 Regular Cab. Thanks
