    Just wondering if anyone knows where I can get a replacement tailgate door striker or the white plastic thing that goes around it for a 1989 mercury grand marquis colony park GS? Its bad enough I have a hard time closing it due to the door sagging but every since the white plastic thing around it broke I really have a hard time closing the door. Any ideas?

    NAPA has them (in grey color), pkg of four. But you really should also buy a package of body shims and shim the tailgate up so it hits the striker square.

    Thank you. I checked on napas website and couldnt find them.Do you by chance know the part number?or maybe im calling it the wrong name. Ive tried entering in diffrent names like striker bushing,bushing,door bushing and door striker with no results for the pack of four.
