Star bolt size...

Anyone know off the top of their head what size star head I need to adjust the latches on my doors?

T-55 I think...(not positive though...)

Are your doors rattling? If so, it's usually better to reinforce the door seals with tubing vs trying to adjust the striker bolts. Have you tried that already?

I grabbed my torx set and ran outside. T-27 is the size you want.

T-55 is the size for the seats, they are huge. The 3 bolts on the door are T-27, there are 2 for the hook on the B pillar that are larger than my t27, maybe 30?

Thanks Trey. Don't know why I was thinking striker bolt....
I was just messing with the tailgate latches so maybe that was on my mind. I forgot these trucks don't even have striker bolts any longer and just have those small hooks.
