Adjust door gap?
Noticed that my rear passenger side door sticks out 1/32" from the rest of the body line. Is there a way to adjust the latch so that the door can be moved in a little closer?

unscrew the door latch just enough too see if there is any play. if there is adjust it accordingly tighten the bolts up, and check. might take a couple of tries, but it is worth a shot

Find someone to give you a hand. It's not easy to do minimal adjustments while tightening the bolts at the same time. I spent 1.5 hours do this on my integra. GL

Hmm.. perhaps just let the dealership do this. Just noticed it the other day. Would this be something they'd cover under warranty?

I think BMW has this as part of their inspections (dont know if I or II) for their M3. Not sure if they do it for their other vehicles.
