Adjusting door fitment

Hi
I’d like to fine adjust my rear passenger side door by a few millimetres.
Does anyone have experience of this?
Are the nuts inside the b pillars and doors captive, ie fixed in place? Is there any adjustment to be had just loosening the star bolts you can easily get to with the doors open?

many thanks

Mike

Hello. Yes, you should be able to just loosen the bolts to make adjustments as most cars are designed specifically this way. Just give it a try.
