So even though I got the door to start fully latching again with a forceful shut I bought the new striker plate with solid Pin hoping it would improve it just enough for a reasonable shutting effort. Well now after installing new striker it’s back to only latching on first latch again. WTH. I did not see any way to adjust the striker unless I wallow out the holes on the cab. Why didn’t the GM engineers give some kind of adjustment to these doors? In any case It’s pretty aggravating. I have to go to my shop and get my ruler to make sure the new pin is in the same location on the plate as the original. If it is I guess I’ll be grinding on the new one and wallowing out the coach holes. Any suggestions would be appreciated.
