I took my 1971 RT to a local body shop to install two new passenger door hinges (upper and lower) to help my slightly sagging door. They suggested I also replace the striker and I said fine. They picked up a pack of 2 strikers at a local auto parts store. They fixed the passenger door just fine. But they decided, without asking me, that since the striker came in a pack of 2, why not change the striker in the driver's door, too? Well, they changed that striker and now the driver's door sags and they cannot fix it. I got my car out of there ASAP.

My question is: By just replacing the striker on a nicely aligned door, how did it get screwed up? Any suggestions on the possible cause?

Thanks.
 
Does it only sag when closed? Then yes. Is it also hard to close? The striker is easy to adjust, just loosen and raise or lower a touch as needed.
