Default Door adjust

Does anyone have any idea how to adjust the door closing gap at the striker plate? My passenger side door sticks out about 3/16 " and it is bothersome. I tried the striker it has no adjustment, I wanted to see before I take apart the closer latch.

Thanks

Loosen the striker a lot and with some force , try and wiggle the striker loose. You may find some adjustment there. I have not needed to adjust the c7 door, but have on a c6 and there is adjustment in the striker. Make sure your passenger door striker isn't to far in which sets the door only partially.
