You need to adjust the door striker on the quarter panel. It requires a Torx bit. Move it in a little and the door will close flush.

If its flush at the front fender but either the top or bottom at the quarter sticks out you need to twist the door slightly. Since the top is the problem on your car place a block of wood in the door jam at the bottom and push on the top of the door near the door handle. You may want to park the car next to a wall so you can have you back up against it.
Although this may sound like a crude way of doing this, this is actually how its done at the factory and body shops.
