Adjusting doors

I recently noticed that the driver door doesn't close flush with the rear fender. At the top anyway. Its pretty flush at the bottom half. Is this adjustable? Now that i've seen this, I can't unsee it. lol

Yes. You might have to unbolt part front fender to access the bolts. Then have someone hold it in position or have box or something hold it up.

Well that would bother me also but I am pretty sure it can be adjusted to be flush by someone who knows what they are doing...

I could be wrong (i usually am) but it seems to me that the adjustment needed would be in the latch/striker area. the lower end of the door trailing edge is pretty flush. But the upper part of the door near the door handle and gas door stick out. The top of the door is level with the top of the rear quarter panel. the gap between the door and rear panel is even top to bottom. I looked at the striker plate and it didn't look adjustable. Does anyone know if it is? Also i tried searching the forms and also youtube and havent found the answer.
