Do-It-Yourself Story

I replaced the latch which is two screws and a wire harness connector on the back of the switch. I also replaced the broken striker on the door. Two more screws there and pull straight out with a pair of pliers. Then I checked the door to see how the latch and striker lined up while closing. I noticed the striker was about 1/4 in lower than where it was supposed to enter the latch. That led me to look at the door, which I found the hinge was worn and allowed the striker end of the door to dropdown. There is no adjustment for this so replace the hinge and you quit breaking the $40 striker and ruining the $150 latch . The hinge is about $145
