safari door question
 

anyone have the safari doors for a tj? I just aquired a set and put them on.
There seems to be a small round piece of rubber you put on the striker so
the door will latch.. It is a little flimsy... the door has about 1/2 inch
play..it wont come open but when driving it vibrates a bit. Is there a way
to tighten it?? I wrapped electrical tape around the rubber parts to try and
tighten it but it didnt work to well.

Re: safari door question
 

The round piece that fits over the striker is actually plastic or nylon
tubing with a slit in it allowing you to slide it over the striker. Try
Home Depot or Lowes for some 1/2" nylon tubing. Cut to size and split it,
then slide over the striker. The actual thickness very slight -- perhaps
1/32" but < 1/16" thick.
