when i go over bumps i can hear the door rattling in and out and if i hold the door it wont rattle. its almost if the door wasnt close all the way but it is. Is there a way of adjusting something to make it stop?

u might need new weather strip. U could tap the striker in some with a hammer. But might pull the door in to far.

I'm in opposition to "tapping the striker in some with a hammer". Instead, loosen the striker, adjust it inwards a little bit, and make sure that it doesnt move up or down anyways, just side to side. Then tighten it down again, and you're done.

You might need an impact screwdriver (i think thats what they're called) to do it. It's a chisel looking thing that should have different attachement bits. You turn it one way, put it in the screw or torx bolt, smack the impact screwdriver with a hammer and it uses that force from the hammer to turn the bit the way that you wanted


Basically... adjust your striker.

Also, check out that your door is engaging the striker fully. Might want to tear off the door trim panel, and lube everything up.

all the 3rd gens i have worked on do not have any adjustment in the striker. U would have to rem the hole out. Taping it in i think would be better. Than doing that.The bestthing would get new striping.
