• Q: How to replace the front door striker using the Mini-Wedge Striker Aligner (J 39346-A) on 2001 Cadillac Eldorado?

  A: Replace the front door striker using the Mini-Wedge Striker Aligner tool (J 39346-A) while following exact removal steps because correct door system operation depends on proper striker alignment. The procedure starts with checking the striker location along with spacer count before softly unfastening the two mini wedge striker fasteners along with the mini wedge striker and spacer and washer. Reassemble the washer with spacer and striker where the striker should be placed on the lock pillar with the wedge narrow end facing outward. Apply sufficient tightening force to 27 N.m (20 lb ft) when you fasten the striker. You should take off the mini-wedge door striker aligner (J 39346-A) and apply body color paint to every unpainted portion of the lock pillar that is exposed.
