Door striker

[Silver R/T]

Is door striker adjustable on 2nd gen Charger?

  Yes, the device has 1 or 2 shims behind it to kick the door forward or rearward.  Also, it can be moved every way by loosening the 3 screws that hold the mechanism.  Once you get your door lined up, its a good idea to loc-tite those things.  Warning: have lots of patience.

So would it be then possible to bring back of the door down a bit but have front of the door still at the same level?

I'm thinkin' you would do that with an adjustment of the hinges, no?

I'll thinking that too.
Use the hinges to line up the door.
Adjust the striker last.

[ODZKing]

There is a proceedure in the service manual using a floor jack and piece of wood how to adjust. And the striker last as UFO stated.  I have a 67 manual but it should be very similar if not the same.
