2002 AC Driver side door latching problem...

I just got my new used 2002 AC yesterday and found an odd issue with the door function.

When I lock the driver side main door, I can pull on the rear AC door handle and both doors pull away from the cab an inch or two. I am figuring I will be told to adjust a striker or latch somewhere but wanted guidance if anyone had experienced this.

Passenger side works as I expected it should, it does not pull away from cab when locked.

thanks in advance!

 

So the front door latches to the back door, but the back door isnt latching to the cab? From inside, if you push on the driver door do the doors move that inch without pulling any handles?

 

Pics of the hoop along the roofline where the passenger door snaps into would be super helpful.

I realize we don't have any significant latching info in the everything-you-must-fucking-know-to-own-a-1st-gen thread. It's possible, in your case, someone contorted the latching rod inside the affected door, or the plastic clip that locks that bar to the latch is shot, or the bar is just flopping around inside the door.

 

Thanks guys, I'll get you some answers soon.
