The door latch is difficult to open. Lubed up the roller on the striker and it helped some. Driver door is fine. Is this common. Can/should I unbolt the striker latch and adjust?

Why not?

The door mechanisms are all pretty simple as long as you pay attention you can't really mess anything up.

My driver door wasn't shutting right and kind of had a catch mid way when latching. I loosened the hinges and the catch and just tried different positions until it was closing flush at all body lines and wasn't getting hung up. It was easy. Just mess around with it.
