What' that thing called? A door striker? Can I replace the little plastic thing or do I need to replace the whole assembly?

You guys kill me!!!

Another 'silly' little issue I have with my car but never thought to actually submit a post about it!

I was just assuming that since my car had been hit (and repaired) sometime in its past lifetime in the front passenger door (which is the one that I have never been able to adjust so it would close WITHOUT slamming!) that it was just a fact of life. BUT NOoOOOooOOoOo!!! I just went out into the garage and, you got it! IT IS MISSING THE LITTLE BLACK PLASTIC THING!

Thanks again guys for your help with 'restoring' my otherwise nice '85 w123...

They don't sell the tongue for all I know so your either going to have to find some in the junkyard or just buy a new one.. I ordered a set of strikers for the front.

so does anyone know where to get the door strikers other than from the dealer.

You can buy them from the sponsor of this forum. Start with the "Buy Parts" link found at the top of the page.

great thanks
