This is the real fix. I do not weld and do not have a welder. Is anyone on the forum offering the service to fix / rebuild these for other members?

Another unfortunate example of why not using PIP to post images here usually backfires.

You can also pick up some rubber bumper stops to put on a few places on the jams (top & bottom rear). Junkyard will yield some that just stick on and some with a screw in the middle.

I also get annoyed by dash and door rattles. Even my Mercedes has some door rattles and theyre latches are way overengineered.



Any pics of where you added these? Thanks

The Ford striker bolts completely rid my 88 of the rattle, you could actually push pull the drivers door 1/2" with the window down and here it bounce over bumps. Passenger side is never used and it was fine but replaced it and it also shuts firmer.

It does have 100k on it, but I would suggest anyone that does or even doesn't currently have an issue to replace them. Seems the stock may be a tad too loose.

I'm scratching my head over the striker pn#38421. The threads are imperial, but the Fiero is metric. #38421 has 7/16"-14 threads. The Fiero ('88) is M12...I think M12x1.5. This part number won't work. Unless all you're interested in is using the plastic bushings from the part. Please correct me if I'm wrong. This is true for my car. #38421 now just sits in my junk box.
