I have been fixing issues on our GMC as time and funds allow and I finally got to fixing the striker plate that has a wobbly pin.
It jumped up on the list due to acquiring a Birch screen door. I figured I needed to straighten out any issues with the door before trying to install the Birch door.
After installing the replacement striker plate the door seemed to be even more difficult to close completely.
My son noticed the bottom hinge seemed to wobble quite a bit. After some investigation I discovered that the the entire section the hinge bolts to has failed.
I seems that the only reason the hinge did not pull out of the door is because of the bolts would not pull thru nthe slot.
I had to use a piece of 1/8 " steel to reinforce the door to get the door to operate and close properly.
