One thing to watch for is that the door latch has two positions. If you are
only
hitting the first position in the striker, adjusting it deeper in toward the
center of the car won't make any difference in the door being flush to the
leading edge of the rear wing because it is still only catching the first
position in the latch. If you suspect that this is the case with your doors,
try
adjusting the striker out toward the exterior of the car so the pin will contact
both the first and second positions of the latch. This seems counter-intuitive
to most and is often overlooked.
Good luck!
