Today I adjust the door striker on the driver side of the EM1. The door wasn't flush with the quarter panel when closed. After some slight adjustments I was able to get it back where it needed to be. This procedure can be applied to just about every Honda year make and model.

I have a 4th gen CR-V (2013) and once the screws are loose, they don't move or shift around. Screws are stationary, unless I need to hit the striker harder with a hammer to free a possibly frozen back plate?

Thanks for this! I got my CRX back from a paint shop and I had this gap problem, just making the small adjustment got my door aligned perfectly.

Glad it helped!

Was the interior quieter after? It tightens the seals as well I think

@cruz_control3925 6 месяцев назад

Yes there is an improvement as there was a bit of wind noise due to the gap in the door seal.

What happens if mine came completely off in the plate that holds the bolts in fell into the frame of the door and now my door won't lock at all... Is there a way to fix it😢

@Dj19720 Год назад

Please help I don't even know what that piece is called to look it up to find a replacement piece

@cruz_control3925 Год назад

My advice is to remove the interior plastic panel and see if you can gain access to the portion that fell inside. Good luck.

What size was that drillbit?

@cruz_control3925 6 месяцев назад

It's called an impact screwdriver

If the two screws are countersunk in the door striker, won’t the striker just self-center back to where it was when you tighten the screws back down? I could see if the screw holes were slotted slightly, you’d have some lateral adjustment room but not with countersunk holes. It looks like it worked, though. Just wondering.

@cruz_control3925 3 года назад

Yes the screws are countersunk for flush fitment, but the backing nuts have play built in so you can dial in the door adjustment as I demonstrated. I appreciate your question and thanks for watching!

I had exactly the same question with yours . Some time ago I took out the doors because I painted my car totally and also change the sealing rubbers. After the installation I watched the engineer do the same thing as we saw in the video, and I thought he was making fun of me trying to adjust the door.
