Yes you should be able to adjust them. The Series III's had an adjustment made to them from factory, so they sit out a tad and hence prevents this from happening.

Does anyone else have doors that rattle like they are only on the first catch? My front doors on both sides rattle like crazy, and was wondering if its a common thing or just my car?
