• Q: How to replace the front door striker on 2006 Cadillac XLR?

  A: The process to replace the front Door Striker begins by lifting up the door window panel and removing it along with the door panel while also removing the large water deflector to reach inside the door cavity. Use a marker to indicate the striker position on the door edge and afterward remove its fasteners and separate the striker unit. Position the striker with the latching pin facing the door latch while placing it on the door surface. Then fasten the striker securely by aligning it with old marks and tightening the fasteners to 24 n.m (18 lb ft). You should tighten the fasteners from inside the vehicle to 24 n.m (18 lb ft) while an assistant holds the outside panel match with the quarter panel. Complete the repair by installing the large water deflector and door panel then check that the panels match properly along with door latch function by using both manual and electric releases.
