Default Door Open Sensor Goes Off Over Bumps (periodically)

It's strange because it doesn't happen over every bump and sometimes doesn't go off over pot holes, but switching lanes and going over the lane reflectors on the road will set it off. It happens only on the driver's door. I tried this DIY and while it doesn't happen as often as it use to, it still goes off from time to time. Any suggestions?

Car is an 08 GS350 RWD, I live in SoCal so the weather is warm year round.

Just replace the switch if you already tried the free approach, they are cheap at the dealership so it's no big deal to give it a try.

Hopefully it isn't because your frame or door are out of alignment/warped... if it is a new to you vehicle, pray it isn't an unreported accident.
