Hard closing door

951 Views 9 Replies 5 Participants Last post by  jodyfletcher,

The drivers door on my SEL is becoming increasingly difficult to close all the way. The door moves fine, but it only partially latches unless I slam the door very hard. Is there something I can adjust with the latch or pin to correct this problem? I am worried that one of these days I am going to shatter the 23 year old window.

Thanks!

It's most likely the rubber piece where the door pin goes into. I have the same problem I need to replace it. I don't remember what it's called exactly.

To be more exact it's called the door striker on the pillar. It has rubber which gets worn out.

My 300SD has the same issue; I really need to slam it hard to close it.

Can some one post a close up picture, please, pointing to the part to be replaced?

Thanks in advance.

Cheers,
Soma
