How to remove and install the Front Door Striker and Rear Door Striker on Ford Explorer Sport Trac?

If you want to replace or otherwise deal with the door latch striker, then one thing you need to do is, unscrew the negative battery cable. Subsequently, using a Torx bit, then withdraw the door latch striker stud from the door jamb, while the process of installation is the exact opposite of that and the necessary corrections can also be done at the same time. This striker can be moved in the vertical plane as well as in the lateral, and forward and athwart planes, but it should not be used as a corrective measure for improperly fitting doors. Shimming may be needed in order to adjust the distances to the required measure-between the latch and striker no more than one shim can be installed on one door. It is exercised by applying dark grease on the striker before closing the door; then again unlocking the door then closing and opening the door several times to see the pattern left on the grease. To achieve the required optimal fit of the door striker assembly to the door and either the pillar or quarter panel, loosen the balance of the bolts and then use a lateral movement of the door striker assembly to achieve the correct position before finally tightening the existing bolts where the door latch striker is to be attached.

Ford Explorer Sport Trac Rear Door Striker

Ford Explorer Sport Trac Rear Door Striker keeps doors firmly latched, silencing rattles and blocking rain while the truck rolls. The Rear Door Striker is an U-shaped metal plate bolted to the body pillar, and the door latch hooks over it to pull the panel tight and hold alignment. Years of use, hinge wear, or loose screws can shift parts and force a hard slam, so adjusting or replacing the Rear Door Striker ends the trouble quickly. For any Ford driver the job is simple, Explorer Sport Trac owners mark the old spot, unbolt the worn unit, clean away wax or debris, set a corrosion resistant replacement, snug the bolts, test close, tap the plate until the latch clicks, then tighten fully. Across various Explorer Sport Trac model years the design stays constant save minor zinc finish tweaks, meaning any factory Ford Rear Door Striker fits directly. Regular cleaning and lubricant twice yearly keep the Rear Door Striker smooth and give Ford owners a crisp reliable shut on every Explorer Sport Trac door.
