door catch issue

Door pins are ok and so are the seals

once my door is closed its about 1/4" to far in and its gota be slammed to get it latched or it hangs out some

this is the drivers side. is there some adjustment that can be done to fix this? the striker pin looks ok as well.

it started shortly after a good gust or wind slammed the door hard one night


thoughts?
