door striker
my drivers side door is not closing tightly. ive tried adjusting the position of the door striker every which way, and i got it as good as i can, but its not catching the second , fully closed position. do i need to get a new striker? i see its worn. is that the problem?

Re: door striker
get out the welder and build up the worn areas and it should improve. the hinge pocket might be weak/rusty causing the door to sag and wear the latch. seen it many times!

Re: door striker
Jim Carter has clips that go over the door piece to compensate for the groove, his catch phrase is "buy a pair and a spare". Sometimes new rubber keeps the second "click" from engaging.
