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.

Secure it in place by screwing it back into the frame, and test the door to ensure it closes and latches properly. If necessary, adjust the alignment of the bolt for optimal functionality.

1990 Lincoln Town Car you recently replace the driver's door striker where the door locks to the car frame After replacing this striker the Door Ajar Light now stays on Any help is appreciated?
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.

You can also adjust the door alignment by loosening the hinge bolts slightly, repositioning the door to the desired alignment, and then retightening the bolts. If needed, you may also adjust the striker plate on the door frame for a better fit. Always ensure the door opens and closes smoothly after making adjustments.
How do you adjust the back doors on a 2001 VW Passat?
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.
