Door Striker Adjustment

Tap on the striker with a plastic hammer to adjust the striker. The
striker will not move much, but will give some adjustment.

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.
