Maybe needs new hinges???
Hinges are all restored. I just think I doing something wrong. I will be working on them more this weekend. I have 26 years in the car and she finally drove for first time last year. I can get my door on my Demon to work great but the barracuda latches are totaly different
I ended up finding NOS. Mine would not close or latch allowing the door the open if you put pressure on it.
My hinges were all new. Doors and stryker perfectly aligned. New latches and all was good. Internally they are worn out. Try taking them out and soaking them in diesel to loosen up the gunk first before replacing them.

Need many more details. I assume you've tried all sorts of adjustment on the striker? Door won't close at all? Only half way? Needs to be slammed? Pops open?
Closes hard. Pops open. I think door rubber is to thick. I will be working on more this weekend
