Are your latches New REPO or original?


I had a similar problem with New REPO strikers. I could not adjust them to make them work. I ended up reinstalling my original strikers and it worked fine.

Here is a quote from a bolter who had to make shims

Get a copy of SERVICING CHEVROLET TRUCK CABS from The Filling Station. It's part number DG-62.
