rear hatch bushing

1BADSTANG · September 24th, 2007, 09:14 PM

Hey, my trunk does not close correctly. This is because the bushing ( I think its called the bushing) is broken. Im talking about the plastic peice that goes on the striker. Can anyone give me a link where i can buy one?[/quote]

Go to an auto parts store like Advance or similar that has the isle with the "Help" parts, they may have the kit packaged with the sticker as well [see note 1]. For a cheaper fix if you do not want the striker piece or can't find it, just buy the "Help" part that only contains the gray plastic bushings, cut a split down the length of one side with a hacksaw. After this split is cut, it is flexible enough to slip on the striker post and sturdy enough to stay on. I did this about a year ago and have not had a problem.

Once that is on, adjust your striker position up or down to get the hatch to shut without using a lot of force.

[1] Caution on that, I bought the striker kit that claimed to be for my year (1988), but it did not fit.
