You adjust the door keeper latch on the B or C pillar.  Will have a rake around as I'm sure M_DTM put a howtoo on here somewhere....

found it...

Mine was driving me mad for weeks - finally cured the noise by applying vaseline to the U shaped metal bar that the door latches on to. It was as good as having a really bad toothache cured!

Not sure if you have the same problem - but its an easy remedy to try before you go further

Good Luck Pat

A small dob of grease on door striker does cure in many instances, at the expense of perhaps getting your clothes greasy if you rub it getting in/out...
