Best Answer

Open the door you wish to adjust and look at the body part of the car to which where the door latch mechanism attaches. It is a silver slab that has a U shaped piece to it. This is the striker and you must adjust it to allow the door to close flush to the car again.

It will require a torx screwdriver (it looks like a star), and I believe it is size T25. Loosen both torx screws and reposition the striker a bit in, since the door is sticking out and you want to make the door flush. You can try putting on some Loc-Tite that basically hardens the screw into place so you won't have to do this again.
