Ditto!!
This is an word for word description of the door on my coach.
I had a wind noise from around the door. I had to adjust the latch
bar in somewhat. I ground a small flat spot in the large washer to
get it adjusted in towards the jam.
I takes a little authority to get the it to latch but there is no
door movement when closed and according to the wife no more wind
noise.
