I'm with Glen - the new weatherstrips are not compressed like the old ones so your problem might just go away with the new stuff.

If you are going to replace the weather strips soon, I would wait until after replacing them before trying to adjust the doors. Just my two cents worth.

The striker does have adjustment. The door post has slotted holes, and there is a backup plate inside the post. When you loosen the 3 screws you can move the striker in or out, up or down within the limits of the slotted holes. John

My '56 Tudor's driver side door doesn't close tight enough but the overall alignments all look good. When the door is closed I still have a little play & can "push" it in a little more plus feel the air coming through. The weatherstripping is also all compressed (which I'll try to replace in the spring). My question: What can I adjust on the door to get it to close tighter ? The door latch striker plate doesn't look like it has any type of adjustment leway but I think that's were the adjustment needs to be made.
