Anyone know if the striker plate for the front drivers door is adjustable , like in the ol days when i was a Chevy mechanic? Used to loosen the plate and adjust for in/out and up/down.

If so, anyone off the top of their head know what size Torx it is?

My 2 week old SS has a lil slop in the drivers door when closed, not too terrible, but enuf to bother me.

I know , "it's new take it in" , but with it being black,and my own paranoia of getting my shoes anywhere near the side skirts and screwin up the paint on 'em while gettin in n out i'm even more scared of having a "newbie" getting in or outa my car.

Just need to bring in the striker plate a lil bit.

Thanks

Door Lock Striker Adjustment




Important: To determine if the striker adjustment is required, proceed as follows.

Ensure that the door is properly aligned with the door opening before proceeding with the striker adjustment.
Open and close the door on the striker (2). Note if the door drags on the striker causing the door to move upward or downward upon contact with the striker. Also note the closing effort to fully engage the latch.



Important: When the striker bolts have been removed, the striker anchor plate (1) will slip down in the door pillar or quarter panel and the trim will need to be removed to gain access.

Using a soft marker, mark around the striker (2) for reference of the original position. Loosen the striker screws just enough to allow the movement of the door striker and shims if equipped.
Adjust the door striker up or down and inboard or outboard as required.
Move the striker to eliminate drag on the striker and door latch and to achieve proper door position within door opening. Start with up/down position, then position the striker to achieve proper alignment to the door opening. Set the in/out adjustment for proper door seal engagement ensuring that the door closing efforts are correct.
Notice: Refer to Fastener Notice in the Preface section.

Adjust the striker and add spacers as required.
Tighten
Tighten the screws to 25 N·m (18 lb ft).

Inspect the door for proper operation.
Close the door.
