I had a similar issue, you need a ratchet and a torx bit to fit the striker plate (which the latch locks onto, attached to the door frame), if you loosen it you can tap it until it moves in a bit then tighten it and try shutting the door, small movements are best, make sure that you wind the two rubber ‘stops’ in on the edge of the door first, as these might have been wound out to compensate! You can wind them out to suit once the door fits better! Also, before I start I draw round the striker with a marker, it gives you a reference as you can move it in any direction so it’s good to see just how much and where you’re going
Lastly, if you move the door a lot, you may need to adjust your windows when you’ve finished, there’s a decent guide to it on here, however, make a note of how your window sits in the seal before you start.. and it WILL be frustrating.. but it’s amazing once it works, which it will!

Thanks for the info! Very helpful.

I'll give it a go on the next dry day that I'm off work. My windows sit against the seals, and water can get in, mostly when washing and not in the rain luckily. Hopefully when I adjust things I'll have a better seal....then I have to try and seal the hard top - it lets more water in at the front than the soft top...

All part of the fun of F/TF ownership!
