Actually... The repro internals are totally fine. It’s the body of the repros that are poorly stamped.
Based on information you provided in the last one of these threads, I pulled a couple 126 strikers from the yard. Couldn’t find any with good rubber, so brought them home and transferred the rubber from the two meyle/uro units I had on the car. I’ll be damned... They work perfectly now.

You live in Long Beach so why not just go buy some good strikers ? . they're the same in W126's and as long as that black rubber bit is still black and uncracked you're good to go .

The repops are crap and not worth spit .

New are still available, not cheap but not horribly $pendy either .
