The "thing with the spring" is the safety hook.
There is a plastic "body rivet" that holds the shroud that fits over the latch. It's on the left side of the latch in your picture (the driver side latch). Remove the rivet (use a small screwdriver to pry the center pin up about 3/4" and then the whole rivet will pull out) and slide the shroud off of the latch. Adjust the latch. Reassemble.
