[DML] Re: Door Striker Pin



Brian - The striker pin threads into a captive nut, so you can remove 
the pin without fear.  I have seen many cars with the same symptom as 
yours - the rear pin riding on the guides or hitting the plastic 
latch parts.  In fact, a couple of people have actually cut off a bit 
of the pin to shorten it up a bit even after removing any extra 
washers.  Hmmmm.
