Door Adjustment

What’s the best procedure for adjusting the door to close a little tighter? My back driver side door is kinda floppy up top near the roof, and the door handle is a hair trigger when opening the door. Thanks

Most of adjustments in the door hinges and Striker loop is for up and down adjustments, but the bolt holes on the striker loop plate have a bit of in and out play.
You could loosen them just enough to bump the striker loop back a little farther. It’s not going to give you a lot inward, but a little might be all you need
Just make sure the loop is properly aligned with the door latch before tightening it back up.

I’ll give that striker a look, thank you.
