Question Adjusting the door

Can you adjust the driver's door so it closes slighly more. The back edge of my door sticks out a small amount from the body panel and I was wondering if the latch can be adjusted just a hair. If yes, HOW????????????????

you can. I believe you actually adjust the lock portion that is on the door frame, see part #21 below (far right of image). I think you just loosen the two screws on it and slide it in a little, then tighten them back up and give it a try. I remember doing something like this on my Integra.

If adjusting the screws doesn't help, try flipping part #21.

Those screws are set in concrete. Screwdriver is useless. I need leverage. Ideas?

I fiinally got the two screws loose but there is no adjustment. There are just screw holes with no tolerance in or out. Do you to adjust them from the hinges on the front of the door. That seems to be the only info I can get off net. That seems to be over my head mechanically. Any help?
