Just what I needed!
To think, I’ve been driving around with a rattling door driving me nuts, figured I would have to order new strikers. Guess I know what I’m doing tomorrow!
1 Q- My striker has a deep groove worn into it, would that pose an issue with the longevity of this fix?

Mine have a groove too, I think you’ll be fine! The tubing just gives the latch on the door a firmer grip. It’s $0.25 worth of tube, nothing that isn’t worth trying!

Strikers from fords fullsize vans of the times also work as replacements if yours is too rusted to seperate to slip the pex onto it. Mid 70's whenever the body changed to the style that goes to 91? I think, so that one style of ford van.
(also in wrecking yard found the same striker on a 70s/80s dodge van with a metal collar, only the one left on the van though so don't know if it was stock dodge or taken from something else, but it worked on a ford truck when I brought it back!)
