Door Striker Adjustment
Information
- Make sure the door latches securely without slamming it. If necessary adjust the striker (A): The striker nuts are fixed. The striker can be fine adjusted up or down, and in or out.
- After loosening the mounting screw, adjust the striker (A) by moving it forward and backward or from side to side and then tighten the bolts (B).
Tightening torque:
(B): 8.8 - 13.7 N.m (0.9 - 1.4 kgf.m, 6.5 - 10.1 lb-ft)
- Tap on the striker with a plastic hammer to adjust the striker. The striker will not move much, but will give some adjustment.
- Hold the outer handle out, and push the door against the body to be sure the striker allows a flush fit. If the door latches properly, tighten the screws and recheck.
