so.. to update this thread. i never ended up adjusting the door latch because my little workaround of just pulling the handle twice or giving it a nudge kept working.. until one day it didnt and the door wouldnt open at all. I had to do the dukes of hazard entry and exit for a few days while i waited for a new latch to arrive from pelican parts. After taking the door card off with the door closed i still couldnt get it to open even after pulling the latch switches from inside the door. i was almost defeated but youtube came through as it often does and once i learned how the latch internals work i started tapping the door latch area with a fist while pulling the handle and it opened. I put a new replacement latch and the door opens better than ever now.

the lesson I learned is not to put off repairs, even on some things that seem minor annoyances. boy did i learn this one the hard way!
