Adjust the striker if door otherwise aligned ok.
Loosen Nadar pin and move, BUT DO NOT REMOVE
Try loosing the bolts that hold the hinge to the body. Just enough to raise or lower the door. Then tighten and adjust accordingly. You can adjust the striker bolt to get a tighter closing door. You loosen it and push it further back for a tighter fit or pull it out some for a looser fit. Hope this helps.
On the driver side between window and dash, or maybe on the door post at the rear edge of the driver's door, just below the striker plate.
You can adjust the striker pin on the door post with a torx socket. Also, if there is too much slop in the door hinges that can cause problems. The hinges can be repaired with door hinge pin and bushing kits from your local auto parts store.
Yes--But loosen only DO NOT REMOVE COMPLETELY
The striker adjustment is very sensitive. The door ajar switch is in the latch mechanism on the door and if the striker is not adjusted perfectly, the switch will not function. My 1997 has a double latch, yours probably does also. Try adjusting the striker closer to the pilar. That should tighten it up enough to make the door ajar switch function. If not, just keep adjusting it until you get the light to go out. It took us 3 tries to get it.
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.
Check that the door seals and door card are seated properly (FREE). Oil the door lock, make sure the outer and inner handles spring return to the closed position after use (ALMOST FREE). Adjust the door lock striker plate (FREE).
AnswerAll you need to adjust the door is a t-45 torx socket. On the inside of the door jamb you will see a bolt that is called the door striker. loosen the blot and adjust it according to witch way the door needs to go. Tighten and then test fit the door. Make adjustments accordingly.you also may need to adjust the door itself probably up I'm guessing , the hinge bolts are located behind the fender . you may need to loosen the top or the fender to gain access to those bolts. or you can try to adjust the door with a door adjustment tool , many body shops will do this for you nearly free of charge.
grease
If the door is hangging low and hard to close. You will need to replace the door bushings, once the they wear out the door is allowed to sag. Hope the answered your question.
