85 pontiac trans am door not closing all the way
Hello ppl.
First post here and immediately asking for help so here it goes.
I bought a 85 f-bird trans am. Been painted at some point by previous owner and i see a small problem at the moment: drivers side door does not close tight enough. There is a small gap between the weatherstrips and the door. the door seems to be otherwise ok aligned and not sagging but it should go like 4-5mm deeper to be closed well so it won't seem like i had the door open.
I have no idea how to adjust the door if possible.. so if anyone has any pictures or ideas how to do this it would be really nice.
Thank you and hope to hear from you ppl.

Door strike should have some adjustment. Loosen it and push it back 4-5 mm and see if that helps.
