Dorman - HELP Door Lock Striker,Tailgate Striker Bolt P/N:38421
Keep every door and tailgate latching securely with the Dorman - HELP Door Lock Striker / Tailgate Striker Bolt 38428. The striker is the fixed post the latch grabs to hold a door or tailgate closed; when the original is worn, loose, or missing the latch may not hold, and the door can rattle or fail to stay shut. It installs as a direct-fit replacement across a large run of GM vehicles, including the 1973-1975 Buick Apollo, 1976-1996 Buick Century, 1967-1981 Chevrolet Camaro, and 1988-1999 Chevrolet C1500 — see the Buyer's Guide tab for the full list of 160 applications.
This part is listed under both names — Door Lock Striker and Tailgate Striker Bolt. If a worn or missing striker is the cause of a door that won't stay closed, this replaces it; inspect the latch, hinges, and alignment as well.
