[Healeys] Door Striker Adjustment

[John Soderling]

Gene,
If the problem is that the door latch is not penetrating far enough into the 
door striker hole to keep the door from popping open, move the striker out 
incrementally by putting thin washers behind the striker until it does 
engage sufficiently to hold.
