Striker Adjustment

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2005 Nissan Quest. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
NOTE: Turn OFF automatic sliding door system, if equipped.
  1. Inspect the door latch-to-striker clearance for the front and rear strikers.
    • Slowly open and close the sliding door.
    • Confirm the strikers meet the latches correctly.
    • Adjust striker height up or down as needed.
  2. Slightly loosen the door strikers, upper and lower dovetails, and contact switch.
    NOTE: Loosened parts should not move on their own.
  3. Open and close the door three or four times to allow the strikers and contact switch to align themselves.
  4. Carefully tighten all loosened parts using care not to move the parts.
  5. Open and close door three or four times to confirm smooth latching.
