Installation Notice:

The door lock striker is an important attaching part
that can affect the performance of vital components

or with an equivalent part. Do not use a replacement
part of lesser quality or of a substitute design. The

reassembly in order to ensure the proper retention of
the part.

The door lock striker consists of a striker with two screws
that are threaded into a tapped, floating cage plate
located in the appropriate body pillar. This floating
cage plate allows the striker to be easily adjusted in
or out and up or down. The door is secured in the closed
position when the door lock fork snaps over and
engages the striker.

Fore/Aft Adjustment

1. The door must be properly aligned.

2. Close the door until the lock fork contacts the

striker.

3. Stand next to the door opening and move the door

slowly in and out, just touching the striker each
time.

Up/Down or In/Out Adjustment

An adjustment of the striker in the up/down or in/out
directions may be necessary for a number of reasons:

•

Vehicle frame damage as the result of a collision.

•

Installation of new door weather stripping.

•

Customer complaints of excessive wind noise.

•

Difficulty in opening or closing the door.

In order to adjust the door striker in an up/down or in/
out direction, perform the following procedure:

1. The door must be properly aligned.

2. Loosen the striker screws.

3. The floating cage plate can be moved slightly

using the ends of the striker screws. Move the
floating cage plate to the desired position.

Notice: It is important to use a flat-end rotary file in
order not to damage the tapped floating cage plate.
The striker screws and the tapped floating cage plate
are important attaching parts that could affect the
performance of vital components and systems.

4. If proper adjustment requires that the floating cage

plate be moved more than is possible, use an
electric hand drill and a 3/8-inch rotary file with a
flat head in order to enlarge the body opening in
the direction required.

5. Tighten the striker screws to the correct position.
