Phaeton Entry Door Latch Adjustment

How do you adjust the entry door latch striker bolt in and out? The striker bolt needs to be further inboard to help in making it easier to open. Loosening the striker bolt does not allow you to move it further inboard. I have a 2014 Phaeton.

I have not found a way possible to do this. I took mine all apart and I can't see a way how to adjust. Will be interested to see if anyone has a solution.

I just filed the outside edge of the strike plate with a small flat file. 15 minutes and done. Deadbolt works like a charm.

On my '14 Phaeton, I left the striker bolt alone and adjusted the latching mechanism. If you remove the cover, you will see the actuator rods that operate the latching mechanism. Over time, they become worn and/or out of adjustment. You will notice some barrel nuts with locking nuts on either end. These are the adjustment points. They only need very small adjustments to get everything working again - 1/4 turn at a time.

I had to file mine a bit too, as Props2 suggested.
