  1. Remove the stabilizer insert. (Refer to BODY/SWING GATE/STABILIZER WEDGE/INSERT - REMOVAL) .
  2. Loosen the striker bolts.
  3. Adjust the striker up/down so that it is centered within the latch opening.

  5. Adjust the striker cross-car engagement to the latch by adding 2.0 mm shims as necessary.
    NOTE: Make sure the striker is not twisted within the latch opening. Striker should be parallel to the opening.
