Just bought an 84 C15 - looking for solution on closing the doors easily. I understand one can purchase door striker bolt bushings or fashion them from round stock. Either way, I'd like to solve this issue asap. Cheers and Happy Easter.

Wrap a few loops of duct tape around the striker. Mine closes easy now.

That tape has been the solution for most people for 20+ years, but it always seems that it makes a nasty mess in the summer when it's 105 outside and your constantly opening and closing the door. The pex trick is cheap and effective and looks a whole lot better.
