• no need for modifications to mounting holes,
• consistency with other elements of the locking system,
• maintenance of the connection rigidity designed by the manufacturer,
• easier diagnostics of potential faults in the future.

Choosing such a solution is particularly beneficial for post-accident repairs or restoring the original functionality of the doors when you want to maintain the parameters specified by the vehicle manufacturer.

Performance characteristics and installation

The door lock striker plate in this model works in direct contact with the lock tongue, which is why its proper condition affects the comfort of daily use. A properly selected element helps to:

• achieve smooth, predictable door closing,
• minimize the need for forceful door slamming,
• maintain an even gap between the door and the body,
• limit the transmission of vibrations to the door structure.

Due to the design intended for the Scirocco Mk3, the installation is straightforward – after setting the striker plate in the correct position, it is possible to precisely adjust the door closing to achieve a satisfactory effect in terms of both acoustics and aesthetics.

Condition of the item and service application

The offered product is used, which makes it a reasonable choice for service repairs where the cost-to-functionality ratio matters. This type of element is perfect for:

• replacing a damaged or worn striker plate after a collision,
• eliminating problems with doors not closing properly,
• reducing knocking resulting from excessive play,
• restoring the correct operation of the locking system after hinge adjustment.

Thanks to the original design, it can be used on both the left and right sides, according to the body configuration and the requirements of a specific Scirocco Mk3 unit.
