29/10/2022 Q: What is the procedure for the door lock striker adjustment?
A:
The procedure is to make certain the door is properly aligned within the door opening before proceeding with the striker adjustment, close the door onto the striker, and note if the door drags on the striker causing the door to move upward or downward upon contact with the striker. Also note the closing effort to fully engage the latch, mark around the striker for reference of the original position, move the striker to eliminate drag on the striker and door latch and to achieve the proper door position within the door opening, and then tighten the striker-to-body bolts to 27 Nm (20 lb-ft).
