I thought so too, but unfortunately not. I swapped them just to double check myself and the other one places the striker bolt WAYYYY too low. Like 1"+. I remeasured and it appears as though I'm 1/4-1/3" off, not 1/2 like I originally guesstimated.
I've never worked on door gaps and not sure I want to start lol. I honestly thought these were pretty good, but I guess it does hang a little low on the back side.
My thoughts for an easy(?) solution is to swap striker plates. If I use the passenger side plate on the driver side, the pre-drilled bolt hole will be at the bottom like I mentioned. That gives me a large area to drill a new hole up top without compromising the original hole as it was designed. This also lets me swap plates again in the future back to the original side if I ever get the doors where they should.
That make sense? Or do you guys think thats a dumb idea and I should bring it to a body shop to see if they can dial in the door gaps.
