Re: Can I get some driver door pictures please

could it just be the strikers that need adjustment.. or is this gap "normal"?

1st 2 pictures are driver side door, other 2 pictures are passenger side

That is definitely a little excessive. As some others have suggested, I would roll the window down, insert a board at the top rear of the frame and gently push in on the lower door by the door handle and see what happens. Don't push real hard at first because sometimes they move pretty easy and you can go too far with it.
