Default Door alignment question

It's nice to finally have a non-critical item to ponder fixing!

Ever since I've owned my car, the driver's side door is a little harder to open than the passenger side. Even after the door hand linkage snapped and was replaced, it's still the same.

Has anyone ever messed around with the door alignment? I'm wondering whether tweaking mine will make pulling the handle a little smoother.

As always, thanks in advance.

Dave... could be a couple diff things, are you sure it's an alignment issue?
check the seals, sill plate etc for improper installation before you start messing with the alignment
a loose door panel bottom or excess carpet on the bottom edge can make the door difficult to open

Rixter:

Nah, the panel and the sill plate are good. I should have asked around when I was at SITM, but I was having too much fun
