Door Strikers

[HEMICUDA]

If you need door strikers, MOPAR had 198 in the system until I ordered 10 sets two weeks ago.  DON'T buy the reproductions, they are solid steel, there is a reason for the rubber cushion under the steel sleeve.  If you have a problem ordering "old school" parts from your local dealership, give them the part number 3454485.  I paid $35 each, I get a 35% discount from my local dealer.

Thank you for passing along that little tip Mike.  I purchased a set from my local Chrysler/Jeep dealer.  Installed 2 weeks ago and walah!!!  Both doors now click shut perfectly.  They were giving me headaches with the repro all steel construction strikers, especially the driver's side door.   I don't even have seals on the doors yet and trust me, the doors pop open and gently click shut with the NOS strikers.  They even sound different when they shut.  Before I had to pull up on the driver's side handle pretty hard and pull on the door to get it to release from the repro striker.  All is perfect now.   Big thanks man.

Great info, I just checked with our local dealership and they showed the same thing but they were asking roughly $52 each. @MoparDave is this the same as the pair that you sold me? Because they showed you as having 30 sets of them.

SAME PART.

@HEMICUDA we try to tell the customers this is the way to go and they want the cheap parts.

There are some parts that you can save a little money on, but this is not one of those parts.  BIG difference in these vs what the aftermarket cheap ones feel like.  Do not buy the cheapo parts if you can still get the Mopar door strikers.  It's going to suck if these ever sell out.

Thanks Mike - Just ordered two sets at $38/each:

I tried a local dealer and he said he couldn't get them.

Glad to hear it, @MoparDave. I somewhat remember you and I talking about this over the phone, but I swear I'm getting to where I could plan my own surprise party these days. Anyway, the ones you sent me are on the car. Just wanted to be sure I got the right ones.

Anyone know if these are any good or are they crap?

Mike. Would you sell 3 sets for me...?

I'm keeping all mine for cars, I might as well get 20 more before they're gone.  Woops, sorry Pasi, I would be happy to sell you 3 sets of mine and ship them to you in Finland.

[HEMICUDA]

Shipped today Pasi, did you receive the pipe plugs?

It looks like those will work, as long as the rubber cushion is under the sleeve.  The plating isn't correct, however, if that doesn't matter, you'll be good.  The solid steel repro's are junk.
