Door striker ?

Door striker ?
I did my anti rattle kit and door weather strip this weekend. The drivers door closes ok but firm. The passenger door is a whole nother animal. It doesn't want to close unless I give it a good slam. I tried adjusting the striker but it still hangs on the striker. Then I noticed something. The drivers side striker bolt is thicker and has a "rolling" thingy on it. The passenger side is thinner and doesn't have this thing. Am I correct in thinking the passenger side "roller" thingy is gone and I need a new striker bolt?

I too replaced my weatherstripping this spring and the doors didnt want to close easily or tightly without slamming it. I adjusted the striker pin about 100 times but finally got it close. I have found that after a month or so, they gradually soften up and then you need to readjust the pin. Keep readjusting every month or so until eventually they close properly. In my last pickup, this took about 6 months of adjusting.

Got a new striker and it does latch much better. Door is still off tho. I did move the striker up so the door is even all around. It is very difficult to open/close with the striker in this spot. moved it down a little and it opperates much better. Here is a pic. You can see how it gets narrower towards the top. The windshield side is wider.
On another note, took her to get a bath today and with the high pressure wash she leaked at the top of the doors both sides and thru the wing windows. (haven't changed those seals yet)
