A few of those pics look familiar. Pretty sure I have a box of those old mags downstairs.

I replaced the door strikers on my 89 yesterday. What a PITA to align them. Finally came back in the house at midnight. Going back out now - wish me luck.

Actually, no. I just wanted to make them look new again. So, it wound up that this issue was another "Dorman Strikes Again" problem. I literally wasted 4 hours before I woke up and decided to compare the Dorman to the OEM striker. After that, it took my 5 minutes. Grrrrr. Making a video about it as soon as I post this.

BTW, these new rubber seals are really high quality. Kudos to LMR! You can see said Dorman striker in this pic. I took this after several attempts at proper adjustment.

That said, Permatex Ultra Black would be my choice. - https://www.permatex.com/products/ga...et-maker-5-oz/
