Default Rear Door not closing all the way.

I noticed tonight that one of the rear doors on my 06 S is no longer closing flush with the body like it should. It seems to latch ok, but, the rear edge of the door is now sticking completely out of the body. Can anybody advise me on what I need to do to fix this.

Sounds as if one or both "pegs" loosened up and need to readjusted. There is a silver one on the bottom door or the black one attached to the body. The bolts are large Torx. I can't think of a reason either or would loosen up "out of the blue".

Yes, the doors have an adjustment on the striker. Like Rick said. That was the first thing they tried way back when I had a wind noise issue. I too question why it would loosen up all of the sudden...
