[DML] Door Striker Pin

["bkp944" <bk_pollard@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

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?

Thanks,
Brian
