3.	Carefully move the rear door window glass (A) until the glass mounting bolt are visible, then loosen them.

Door Striker Adjustment

2.	Lightly tap on the striker with a plastic hammer just enough to give some adjustment.

3.	Hold the outer handle out, and push the door against the body to be sure the striker allows a flush fit. If the door latches properly, tighten the screws and recheck.
