I adjusted the strikeplate - the door is now in line with the passenger door behind it when closed, but still kinda pops up a bit when opened. Will it bend into shape or could I be putting too much stress on the lock or hinges?

Things seem a lot quieter and the door rattles a lot less on bumpy roads, however there's still a bit of a gap in the middle of the A-pillar. I guess the rubber is just worn and or warped out of shape - you can see in the second picture the scuff mark in the middle and how it's not running flat along the windscreen. I take it a new one of these is ridiculously expensive?

See my last post, I adjusted the strikeplate and it's much better now.
