Driver side door

My drivers side door will not shut tight. Is there a simple way to adjust the doors? It is a '92 F150,4.9L, M5OD. I did a search on this topic but did not have much luck. Any help will be much appreciated.

Thanks

loosen the hingest on the pillar, adjust door height/angle using a block of wood and a floor jack, then tighten.

Being your truck is a 92, the hinge pins probably have bent, scored, or gotten narrower, and should be replaced.

I had the same problem with both doors on my '91 ... The plastic sleeves on the door latch pins were worn off ... I got new sleeves at Auto Zone, unscrewed the latch pins, put on the sleeves, screwed the pins back into their origional position ... Vola! ... Like new! ... Since this fix is so simple ... You probably won't get that lucky ...
Regards, DR
