My door is not closing tightly enough. It sticks out a bit from the body and there is a wind sound at high speed. I tried to adjust the U bolt in the door jam but the screws are set in there good. Anyone else have this issue?

USe an impact hammer to loosen the screws. They you can adjust it a little bit.

Only other thing is your car could have been involved in an accident and fixed improperly. That and bad seals, but if it sticks out, definitely need adjustment.

I'm so annoyed that I've gone my entire life not knowing this tool existed.

So I got the U bracket loose and it is as bottomed out as it will go to get the door tighter. I might shave off some material on the door jam to get it to slide farther in.

Another one that may adjust is the actual latch, Im not really sure if they do or not. Worth trying.
