Soft top rear door troubles

I was wondering to myself the other night, "Does the rear door open?” I've always used the folding pickup top to put things in the back.
I unlocked it and it opened. But then came the trouble.... I can't close the bloody thing properly! Is there any adjustment in the hinges somewhere? I couldn't find anything. The door drops about 20mm and the only way I can secure it was by removing a locating bracket and wrestling with it (note to self, handbrake needs adjusting!) It is now almost closed, but not where it used to be.
Thanks

All i can think of is
A) knackered hinges
B) knackered latch
C) knackered mech in the tail gate

Photos may be helpful on this one.
