Hello Group, I'm now working on getting my passenger's door to latch a bit smoother. The rear striker pin is actually too long and the end is hitting the door guide. There are two washers between the striker pin and the mounting plate. If I can remove one of those washers, I think I will be home free. The problem is I am afraid to completely unscrew the striker pin to remove a washer. I don't know how the hidden nut behind the mounting plate is secured. If I completely unscrew the striker pin and the hidden nut falls down somewhere behind the plate - the 5-minute job becomes a multi-hour job. Is it possible that door striker pin nut is held captive somehow and cannot get lost if the striker pin is removed?
