Door striker sticks out too far for door to shut properly.

[Creed]

Hey guys.
Have a door issue. Ought strikers online but for some reason they stick out too far for door to shut properly tight. I have attached couple of photos. Anyone know of good brand or suggestions?

Turn the striker around? Also the front and rears are different. Can't see the striker in your picture.

EDIT: Found a picture of mine ...

I dont think the striker is wrong or flipped around. That does appear to be the proper front striker. However, your door looks like it might be a reproduction, not a real x-door. Have any pictures of the door latch area?

that door is missing the OEM aluminum edge trim and OEM seal, if it’s even an OEM x-door at all…so no, it’s not going to fit, the striker is correct,

It is hard to see because the OP did not post a picture that included the door at the striker location but it looks like the seal is touching the body at the door handle/striker, it just appears the door does not have the correct profile to fit a HMMWV body.

Here a pic of my door. There are not your typical door. Fiberglass doors. I believe kevlars. The handles are also different.

So I drilled new holes for the bolts so that it doesnt stick out too much. Its seals much better. My door are different than x doors.

Govplanet. Supplied by Plan B supply. I figured they were older. Liked they were not typical x doors.

If you remove the striker does the door seal up tight all the way around? If so, you could flip the striker or try the rear striker in the front. It would literally give you 4 different striker positions to choose from.

The back striker holes don't fit the slots. I think i just have to set the stiker at the right contact position and drill new holes. It worked for the one side. Sealed pretty good.

I hope you are drilling holes in the striker and not in your B pillar.
