Crack surrounding door striker

RedFish said

Years ago a friend/neighbor had a single reason why he would never own a Chrysler product. He said, "Go to a junk yard and open and close doors on Fords, Chevrolets, etc,,, Then try a few Chryslers. If the door does open, it wont close right".
As years went by and my trips to junkyards were pretty much annually, I found his comment to be true.

This may be an explaination for that. In a auto salvage yard teh wheels are usually removed and teh cars arent sitting properly on their suspension, they are unibody and the way they sit the bodies flex. Over time that may lead to door closing issues,that and the hinges and door strikers are worn out LOL! But I assure you when a Mopar is repaired properly the doors close like any other car. The fit and finish on the other makes was definitely different though.
