Front Door Striker: Adjustments







DOOR STRIKER
Make sure the door is not loose, and that it latches securely without slamming. If necessary, adjust the door as follows:
1. Draw a line around the striker plate for reference.
2. Loosen the striker screws, and move the striker IN and OUT to make the latch fit tighter or looser. Move the striker UP and DOWN to align it with the latch opening. Then lightly tighten the screws and recheck.

NOTE: Hold the outside handle outward and push the door against the body to verify the striker provides a tight fit.
