Installation Procedure

    Object Number: 319955 Size: SH
  1. Install the sliding door striker and the shim to the C-pillar.

    2. Notice: Use the correct fastener in the correct location. Replacement fasteners must be the correct part number for that application. Fasteners requiring replacement or fasteners requiring the use of thread locking compound or sealant are identified in the service procedure. Do not use paints, lubricants, or corrosion inhibitors on fasteners or fastener joint surfaces unless specified. These coatings affect fastener torque and joint clamping force and may damage the fastener. Use the correct tightening sequence and specifications when installing fasteners in order to avoid damage to parts and systems.

    Important: 

       ā€¢ The striker is mounted through an oversized hole into a caged nut. This arrangement allows approximately 4 mm (0.15 in) of adjustment.
       ā€¢ If the striker does not properly engage the door lock, the door needs to be adjusted within the door frame. Refer to the appropriate procedure:
          -  Rear Side Door Up/Down Adjustment
          -  Rear Side Door Front Edge In/Out Adjustment
          -  Rear Side Door Rear Edge In/Out Adjustment
       ā€¢ Use the striker in order to adjust the door for flushness. Do not use the striker in order to raise or lower the door.
       ā€¢ The latch should contact the center of the striker. If the latch to striker alignment is incorrect, add or remove shims as required in order to achieve proper alignment.

  2. Install the sliding door striker screws.

    3. Tighten
    Tighten the sliding door striker screws to 25 NĀ·m (18 lb ft).
