Hey guys trying to understand why my driver door rattles against door surround and my passenger door doesn’t . On the drivers side the upper part of the door doesn’t seat to fully seat against the surround and when driving down the ride I can see the upper part of the door flexing back and forth . Is there a way to get it to seat better ? Also I noticed that my driver door catch bracket has a thin plate underneath but the pass. Side does not .

Looks like each door strikes the latch in about the same spot, so maybe the spacer isn't an issue. Can't you loosen the two torx bolts and slide the drivers side door latch in a wee bit? Might just need an alignment adjustment.
 
Are these full doors? Makes me wonder if perhaps the driver's side door is warped a bit. I've heard that it's a common problem if the doors have been stored improperly.
