Default 4th gen door latch adjustment

Hey all. Just recently picked up a 01 WS6 / m6 / ttop . I've noticed that the driver door doesnt seem to shut completey. As when it's closed, you can still push the door in more. The passenger side isn't like this.

And also, it has a MAJOR leak between the driver window and the ttop seal. I'm sure it's because the door doesn't shut all the way.

Is it possible to adjust the latch? I took a quick look at it and it doesn't seem like you can.

Thanks in advance!!

Did you figure this out? I know that there are two torx bolts on the latch mounted on the inside of the quarter panel.

Loosen this two torx bolts and you should be able to adjust it in and out.

My car does the same thing as yours, when the door is closed there is still some space to allow the door to be pushed a little more.

The only problem with mine is if I adjust the latch to close in tighter to the body of the car than it will result in my door being too sunken in towards the body of the car, so my quarter panel will be sticking out further than my door.
