Subject: Door Striker (All Miata Content)

I know Scott will be disappointed that this isn't some

gibberish about my miata & "nirvana", but I have yet

another annoying problem I would like to eliminate.



  This is probably the 4th time I've asked this in the

past year, but I have never got a reply.  I'm really 

hoping someone can help me this time.





  How do I adjust the door striker on the drivers side?





  It doesn't close quite tight enough, you can hear the wind

whistlin, and its actually visible that its not closing fully.

Its about an 1/8th or 1/16th" from being flush with the body.



  Do I adjust the striker on the BODY with a special screwdriver?



  Or do I adjust the screws holding the latch in the door?



  I'm afraid of screwing something up on the striker like having

something fall inside.



  How do I do this?
