The Ford Barn

Both doors on my '30 coupe are aligned well, and open and shut easily and with a light touch.

However, when they're closed, both doors will "sag" open a good bit, while still remaining securely latched. I've adjusted the latch plate thing on the body of the car out and in, but it appears to have no effect and I'm unsure where to make next adjustments to bring the doors in and keep them flush to the body when closed.

What's the best way to correct this cosmetic issue?
