While closing the passenger side door on my Continental yesterday, the piece extending out from the catch plate on the B-pillar broke off (please see pictures).
Does anybody have 1 or 2 of these pieces for sale. I need to replace the broken one and am thinking I might as well replace them both.
Thanks.
Harley.

Harley,
The rod on the striker can be welded back in place. I have done this on one of my cars where the rod was worn badly. The rod is peened to the plate on the backside, but I wouldn't trust peening on such a safty item as the door striker. Just re insert the rod into the hole that it came out of and MIG it from the back.

I think that you are right Bill - MIG welding it back into place is the way to go. My Elmer's glue idea didn't work out nearly as well as I had hoped!
Thanks.
Andy.
