What is the front door striker shim (MUC3039) for?
The front door striker shim is a spacer fitted behind the door latch striker on the body pillar. It packs the striker outward to set the correct engagement depth with the latch, squaring the door in its aperture and taking up play so it closes without rattle.
Which Defenders does this striker shim fit?
This front door striker shim fits the Land Rover Defender up to VIN AA270226. Later builds used a revised striker arrangement, so confirm your chassis number falls within that range before ordering. It's for the front door.
How many striker shims are typically needed, and can they be stacked?
Striker shims are typically fitted one or more per striker to dial in door alignment, and they're often stacked to build up the right stand-off. Quantity depends on how far the striker needs packing out, so order to suit the adjustment your door needs.
How do you fit a door striker shim?
Fitting a striker shim means unbolting the striker from the body pillar, placing the shim behind it, then refitting and adjusting until the door closes flush and latches cleanly. It's usually a straightforward DIY job with basic hand tools.
