Tom, if you loosen the two striker attach screws just enough to move the =
striker, you can adjust it in the inboard and outboard direction.  =
Making that adjustment has worked for me.  It's a trial and error =
process to get it just right.

Hello all,

My 65  BJ8 driver door is not latching. I read the archives and am still =
wondering about what to do.

=20

I have a new latch (on door, correct?) and striker (on body, correct?). =
Furflex feels like it's offering some resistance but the door closed =
when it was first installed. I am wondering if the striker is first =
thing to adjust and, if so, how to adjust it. Reference in an archive =
note was made to shimming the striker "out" -- would that be the way to =
go? I assume that means standing more proud of the shut pillar?

=20

Just wondering if there is a best way to start this fiddling.

=20

Thanks in advance,

Tom
