I decided to take it upon myself to adjust the alignment of my driver’s door when it’s closed (it sits maybe 1-2mm lower and 1-2mm too far inward in my opinion, and you have to close it with a little more force than other doors for it to latch).
After watching some YouTube’s, this looked fairly easy. However, when I loosened the bolts holding the striker in place, there was no horizontal/vertical movement, as if the threaded portion behind the plate was fixed in placement somehow. I was under the impression that the striker typically attaches to a plate behind the body that has some movement for this exact type of adjustment, with the bolts passing through holes in the body that are wide enough to facilitate this type of adjustment as well. This either doesn’t seem to be the case.
Anyone have experience with adjusting other modern Fords in this fashion that could maybe shed some light on what I’m doing wrong?
Thanks!
