All: The doors on our 74 have really great fit on the outside, but rattle quite a bit. When I pull on the door it can be pulled in just about an eighth of an inch and the rattling and squeaking stops.
Haynes show striker plates that can be shimmed, but the 74 has a later style that has two rubber tabs instead of screws. Has anyone swapped styles and had good results? All of the rubber on the car was replaced during a restoration in 2014-2016 and it's had less than 3000 miles since, and always been garaged as well. Any idea would be helpful. Thanks! |

Adjust the striker. It should move in 4 directions. Silicone spray to stop squeak.

QUOTE(914Sixer @ Jun 23 2023, 07:40 AM)  Adjust the striker. It should move in 4 directions. Silicone spray to stop squeak. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/agree.gif) had the same issues when I got my roller and doors had been off for the cars repainting. I marked mine with painters tape top and bottom of latch after measuring the amount the door wasn't level with the outside of the car,two attempts and got it spot on. Best not to undo the latch to much so a few taps with a soft hammer will give you a motor accurate setup,good luck,cheers. |
