Adjusting doors?

[Applied Carbon]

Since I got my car it's always bothered me how the driver door seems to be popped out 1/8 of an inch when closed. Back in the day i'd just loosen the striker and suck it in a bit but the striker isn't the one bolt kind i'm used too. How do I go about adjusting the door in a touch?

Thanks for that link, going to try and adjust the striker to suck the door in that 1/8 to 1/4 inch to make it good enough for me.

So I just backed out the sticker fasteners but as far as i can tell thier is no adjustment there. The striker is sized so the fasternes locate the striker plate and as far as I can tell the holes that the fasteners screw onto the body are fixed. Now I didn't back them all the way out because i'm not sure if whatever they are threading into is captured or if it's gonna drop in the body but I got them out far enough to see just perfect round holes in the body.

Can anyone confirm? Maybe it's changed over the years?
