Something to check - striker

[FENZO]

Noticed a new wind noise last night, passenger door did not seem to be closing completely. Upon inspection I found the door latch striker bolts loose. I adjusted the fit and re-tourqued the fasteners (30 Nm/22 lb-ft). I also checked the driverside torque, they were not loose but each took about a half turn to proper torque. Im a 2005 with ~7K miles.

May be worth a quick check. Cheers.

I'm an 05 with 7k.

My nuts may be loose.

I'll see a doctor.

Door latch striker bolts :confused, Could you please post a picture ?

More accurately, they are torx head screws that mount the "D" shaped striker on the door jamb. I nabbed a pic from the Elite Autos website and circled the striker.
