Door misaligned?

I've noticed a bit of wind noise from my drives side door lately. It also seems to a few mm's from actually closing completly in line with the bodywork. I'm certain this hasent been the case before, but I can't see any reason that it should have changed.

 

Any way to adjust this? I can force it in line by hand when the door is shut, but it won't stay there. It closes with a perfect sound and all seems well except for the misalignment.

You have the mechanism in the back edge of the door itself. That grabs hold of a metal tongue on the body as the door finally closes. The bit it grabs is on the back edge of the door opening (aperture), half way up. That is the thing that is adjustable. If I had a working EPC I'd post a pic. but I don't, sorry.

 

This shows a fairly similar mechanism:

I can't seem to find much adjustability in the striker. I think I got the door 2mm further in but thats it and not enough.

 

I'm guessing it is this one and that it is just a matter of loosening the three bolts (last one being the one in the black plast to the right), pushing the entire unit further out and then tightning them again. It just seem to fit exactly like before.

There is no adjustability in this one, right:

(if so, I can't seem to get the plastic off it to get to any kind of bolts)

Here you can see the misalignment of the door:
