Door striker

[BlueSHO]

Anyone know how to pull the rear doors in a little at the latch? I have one rear door that's slightly out and I loosened the torx bolts but there's are no slots on the striker to move it back. I think I'm the only one noticing the one rear door out a little but you guys know how we scrutinize our cars..

All the manual has to say is this:

Door Adjustment — Rear
Loosen the rear door hinge-to-rear door bolts until the rear door is able to move slightly.
Align the rear door.
Align the rear door body angles to the rear quarter panel.
Be sure that the rear door is flush to the body.
Tighten the rear door hinge-to-rear door bolts.
Tighten to 30 Nm (22 lb-ft).
Loosen the rear door striker bolts until the striker is able to move slightly.
Align the rear door striker to the rear door.
Tighten the striker bolts.
Tighten to 22 Nm (16 lb-ft).
Adjust the front door. For additional information, refer to Door Adjustment — Front in this section.

Awesome thanks Sir. Weird kind of an adjustment with the hinges..I know it took way more than 16 lb-ft to loosen the door striker bolts

Maybe there's a difference between 2013 and 2016.  The process is quoted for the 2013.
