We use this as a work truck, and the driver side door has recently started not closing all the way. It will latch but it is loose. I've replaced the hinge pins, and it still continues to do it. The only way I can get it to close all the way is to forcefully push upwards on the entire door from the outside. Any help with this would be greatly appreciated.

Is the post on the door frame pillar loose or out of adjustment?
