I had to do the adjustment for both directions after I sent my door to get some repairs. The CSX hinge setup needed to be as far back in the grooves as possible. That fixed the latching problem. Then I needed to put some shims in the bolts at the hinge/door. That moved the front of the door outwards so it doesn't touch the body when the door opens.

All of this is invisible due to the press on cover that goes over the hinge on the inside.
