Door Latch Problems..

I bought a new latch setup from CP and it will not fit into the striker plate on the truck.

Do I need to order the striker plate also or do I need to get a wizz wheel out and trim some off of the housing for the latch?

Re: Door Latch Problems..

I can see your problem now. You were trying to install the latch onto the fuel tank and the latch was interfering with the sender wire on the tank.
