Door won't stay shut

I have a '92 Chrysler NewYorker I'm cleaning up for my mother-in-law and after vacuuming it out today and WD-40'ing all the hinges, the rear driver side door will not stay shut. I've used a screwdriver to make sure the mechanism is moving and it is, wd-40'd the crap out of it, slammed it, lightly shut it, but it just won't stay shut. Any suggestions?

It's been in the garage since last night so I know it's not frozen, i will keep wd-40'ing it and see if that helps. i'll check that stricker plate too to see if there is any room for adjusting.

Thanks again...
