Lock Striker Adjustment - Door: Notes
WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2005 Suzuki Swift +, 2005 Pontiac Wave, and 2005 Chevrolet Aveo. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
NOTE:
When replacing the door lock striker, only use the manufactures replacement part. Do not use a replacement part of a lesser quality or a substitute design. The use of a lesser quality part could lead to an improperly operating door retention system.
The door lock striker consists of a striker with 2 screws that are threaded into a tapped, floating cage plate located in the appropriate body pillar. This floating cage plate allows the striker to be easily adjusted in or out and up or down. The door is secured in the closed position when the door lock fork snaps over and engages the striker.
