Thread: My door striker plate is loose, any tips?

  1. #1

    Default My door striker plate is loose, any tips?

    My Drivers side door striker plate (U shaped bar on B pillar that door latches onto) is a bit loose. I have tightened up the 2 torx bolts but no matter how tight the plastic cover still has some movement in it that is causing the door to rattle. I thought of switiching it with one of the back door plates, are they all the same? If I remove it are there any thing to bear in mind given that the interior light switch is built into the plastic cover.....?

    Thanks.

    Default Are you talking about the door stop. Here's info on Bruno's site.

    Also, Koala has a reinforcement plate which worked well on my door.
