well I just got done installing my bushing kit I bought from Lon, (and this must be said... GREAT shipping! ordered saturday at 3:30 parts arrived on monday. How does he do that?) and after I got them in I had an even worse hang up at the latch. so after a bit of creative looking with a flashlight and feeler, I found out that my latch was engaging just the verry tip of the striker bolt. as in the last 1/8th inch where it is flared. Hmm, that cant be right can it? So I drive over to the local Hardware store, and get a bigger spacer to put between the door jamb and striker bolt to extend it out a bit so the latch hits where it should... Now with my door closed I have about a 1/8th inch play in my door. Looking at my door latch it loks like I should be able to loosen the bolts and push it about 1/8th more into the door to creat a tighter seal when the door is shut, but I couldnt get the latch to move. I diddnt force it as I really dont want to mess up my car any more than I already have with other issues... ( IE read my thread in the exhaust section... stoopid stripped threads...)

any advise?

 

sweet, no one knows.....

 

Isn't the striker bolt adjustable, up and down and in, and out??

not sure. Ill look into that though. seems like it should be now that you mention it, but if not, I have a dremel. Im sure that I can MAKE it adjustable.
