A properly functioning Door Striker will line it up and latch it firmly into place so that it closes solidly without slamming. A Door Striker is a small U-shaped metal plate on the body that works with the latch tongue. After years of opening and closing, a worn-out striker can allow the door to sag, rattle, or fail to catch properly. On mid-decade Pontiac Grand Prix sedans, these symptoms arise quickly. Replacing is simple. Just mark the original outline of the old one, unscrew it, and clean up the wax that has built up. Then place the new Grand Prix Door Striker loosely. With the door gently closed, light taps are given to move the piece until the latch seats cleanly and the screws are finally tightened. Earlier factory units were built out of plain steel that could corrode, while the later versions were built of zinc-coated steel as they resist rust and last longer. However, both types install the same way and have very little cost difference. Many Pontiac enthusiasts notice that a regular touch-up with cleaner and lubricant twice yearly keeps the Door Striker smooth and preserves the crisp factory shut which Pontiac owners of every Grand Prix generation cherish. The Door Striker shares the load properly which prevents wear on the hinge as well.
