unscrew the striker pin from the B post, now adjust the door to fit the appeture, when your happy with the gaps, replace the pin in the correct position, slowly adjusting the pin inwards, until the door skin and rear 1/4 panel are flush, VWs are pretty airtight, make all adjustments with the windows open!
