Rear Side Door Lock Striker Adjustment
WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2015 Chevrolet Trax and 2015 Buick Encore. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
To determine if striker adjustment is required, proceed as follows:
- Ensure 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 lock.
- Using a grease pencil, mark around the striker for reference of the original position. Loosen the striker.
- Move the striker to eliminate drag on the striker and door lock and to achieve the proper door position within the door opening. Start with the up/down position, then position the striker to achieve proper alignment to the door opening. Set the in/out adjustment for the proper door seal engagement making sure the door closing efforts are correct.
- Tighten the striker bolts. Tighten the rear side door striker bolts to 22 N.m (16 lb ft).
