Door Striker Adjustment

it. If necessary, adjust the striker (A): The striker nuts
are fixed, but the striker can be adjusted slightly up or
down, and in or out.

2. Wrap the striker with a shop towel, then adjust the
striker by tapping it with a plastic hammer (C). Do
not tap the striker too hard.
3. Lightly tighten the screws.
4. Hold the outer handle out, and push the door
against the body to be sure the striker allows a
flush fit. If the door latches properly, tighten the
screws and recheck.
