And also some in the vertical direction.

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.





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?





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





Thanks in advance,


Tom
