So is there a tool to adjust the striker on the door? my passenger side closes good but drivers side is iffy, theres marks from someone using channel lock pliers but its not even worth trying.

Are you adjusting the striker because your having trouble getting the door to latch? If so try the pex tubing fix.

If its not available locally let me know and I can send you a piece. I had to buy a 5ft piece when I did mine so I have plenty remaining. The fix works awesome.
