Door not latching

Ok I replaced my window rubbers and door seals and lubed up the locking hardware and now sometimes the door wont latch when closing the door at first I thought it was the airpressure in the cab cause if I open the other door or window it closes and latches but I am not so sure.

I noticed that the black rubber? things on the pillar that the door latch goes into can be adjusted and might be rooted? Looks ok but I dont know what a new one looks like and what a rooted one looks like. 🥷 What have you seen or done in this situation?

Thanks guys

Erm, adjust the door latches?! The striker is adjustable by slackening off the four mounting screws a bit and moving it around, sounds like you probably need to move them outwards. Any workshop manual for just about any car should tell you how to do this if you get stuck.
