there are two screws on the door post. use a big philips screw jab and loosen them. move the whole mount back and snug it up. shut the door to make sure it closes right. adjust as needed, and tighten them up.

Thanks pee_roy, I wasn't sure if it was in the striker or where.

Another good tip: I went to Autozone and got some rubber/foam strip adhezive back weather strip. I think it was about 3/4" wide, wider than what I wanted, so I split it down the middle and applied it to the surface where the existing door trim meets. No more rattle or wind noise.

Don't even notice it's there now.
