Door Closing Issue (1985 Scottsdale) Resolved

A simple door-closing fix that I could do right away and, it WORKED!!!!

At first I thought my new door seals were the issue and, after searching the forum, I could not find anything short of door pins (which my truck didnt need) and a complete strike latch assembly (mine didnt appear to be worn). However, after watching the video, I went out and invested in a piece of 1/2" PEX and a PEX cutter (which I needed anyway) and for about $15 Canadian I was able to make new striker bushing.

After a really bad Monday of epic fails and things going wrong this video restored my faith again, LOL.

Will take photos later if anyone wants to see, but the video illustrates it pretty well!
