I had a day today. First the door hinge on my shop disintegrated, then the spring in my spring loaded hinge on the garage/kitchen door threw a spring. Down til tomorrow.
BUT - then I went to go to the hardware store and the drivers door on my MJ wouldn't close. Crap. So I messed with it, sprayed some silicon on it....still no luck...then I took a look at the striker, the area around the striker is not rusted, it just broke.
%$#@
Anyone have this problem? How to fix? I thought I'd retrieve the striker, unbolt it from the piece of broken metal and reinstall it on a piece of flat stock, and weld it in. Any other ideas or input?
...and before you ask, I did not slam or abuse any of the doors, although I felt like it.
