Someone posted this fix a while back. But only mentioned using the pex, not how to install it. So like a dummy, I took the striker bolt out, only to discover that the pex would would not fit over striker. So I put it all back together, without the pex, and tried to adjust the striker, only to find it wasn't any better. I thought my truck must have a different size striker bolt than the poster's.
So, since I already had the pex and the cutter I went out this morning and did the job in less than 10 minutes. I had no clue the pex was split until I watched the video. The picture was truly worth more than a thousand words. Thanks to mclaymannn for this post
Of course it worked like a charm this time.
