2005 Chevrolet Venture Door Striker Parts Questions & Experts Answers

• Q: How to replace the sliding door striker on 2005 Chevrolet Venture?

  A: The first step to replace the sliding Door Striker includes removing its screws and extracting the sliding Door Striker along with the shim from the c-pillar before installation. Reinstall the sliding Door Striker together with its accompanying shim onto the c-pillar while paying attention to the fact the striker passes through an oversized hole into a caged nut which provides 4 mm (0.15 in) of adjustment range. The Door Striker needs readjustment when a defective Door Lock condition exists. Make the necessary adjustments within the door opening to achieve proper engagement. The striker tool should be used to make the door smooth but not to elevate or sink the door in relation to the body. Check if the latch makes contact with the striker's center while testing the alignment since shims should be adjusted to obtain proper fit. End the installation by securing sliding Door Striker screws at 25 n.m (18 lb ft).
