Is it just the door seals rubbing, in which case there have been very recent posts recommending a suitable treatment/lubricant for them; just can't recall the name.
Remember you have two layers of seals, inner and outer, so it's usually very good and doesn't need adjustment.
If you want to adjust the striker plate on the door catch (about all you can do) you just need a suitably-sized spline bit. I bought a set of them a while ago to do exactly that job.
