The driver's side door isn't closed. Everything is lining up and nothing has happen to the door to cause any damage. I have notice that the latch on the side of the door isn't moving when the handle is pulled so I'm guessing the latch needs replaced but im not sure.

Hi,

Can you take a video of the door closing? It is possible the latch failed but the door handle is there to release the latch so just because it is not moving when the door is open is not an issue in and of itself because the latch is already open.

Seeing how the door is closing will help determine if this is an alignment issue or a latch issue. Thanks
