Help.

My passenger door won't close past the "first rotation of the latch"

I replaced the door strikers with Meyle new ones and it worked good for about two weeks. Today they won't work at all. I tried adjusting the plate for an hour and it won't help.

I did notice the rubber pad at the back of the plate is ripped half way.

in other words if you are standing outside the car looking in, the first pad (on the front side) starts the lock turning, and I thought the second one (on the bottom of the stiker plate toward the back end)completes the rotation.

Do you think it is the split rubber piece... Everything else checks out. I can operated the locking by hand if I rotate the lock, and with the stiker off, I shoved it in by hand and that worked a few times. Not great though.
