• Q: How to replace the front door striker using the Mini-Wedge Striker Aligner (J 39346-A) on 2000 Cadillac Eldorado?

  A: A properly aligned front door striker requires use of the Mini-Wedge Striker Aligner (J 39346-A) which needs careful implementation of its removal procedure for correct door systems operation. It is essential to first mark the location and count the number of spacers before using the two mini wedge striker fasteners to extract the mini wedge striker and spacer and washer . Place the striker onto the lock pillar in a specific orientation while inserting the washer and spacer between the striker and the pillar but orienting the wedge narrow end toward the outside. Tighten the fasteners to 27 N.m (20 lb ft) while securing the striker. The last step entails removing the Mini-Wedge Striker Aligner (J 39346-A) and painting body color on all uncovered lock pillar areas.
