I still have the original plastic on both strikers from 1983. I guess that's unusual.
I have to slam my door because the aftermarket door gasket is too thick.

Just to make sure you're still paying attention 15 years later. So wth did it take you 2 days to respond? Huh? WTF?!?! Slacker !!!
And it took me even longer this time cuz I've been out of town working. What you gotta say now, Senor Fussy Britches? :D

I have done this same thing many times in the past using old garden hoses that aren't good anymore for carrying water, but make great cushions on a closing door latch. Cut and installed the same way as the pex pipe.

Who is this? Shaggy hired another Admin? Name looks familiar but... I think I may have seen you around before. Maybe on other forums?
