is it the front or rear of the door?
rear half of the door is adjusted by the door striker, the thing that the lock fastens on to, easily adjusted by slackening the  bolts off and moving it out a litlle :happy2:
 if its the door to fender flush ,  plastic wedge and prise the fender in or out - wouldnt do this if you havent done it before as you can make a mess of the door

As above, it all can be adjusted, they did my edition 30, it involved moving the wing out a bit too !
