Is your Nissan door not closing right, or making a rattling sound? It might be the worn-out door lock striker. This is the small metal plate on the car's door frame that the door latch clicks onto. This replacement part is exactly what you need. The part numbers are 80570-85E1A (also listed as 8057085E1A) and 80570-85E10 (8057085E10). It's compatible with a bunch of older Nissan models: the Maxima from 1989 and 1991-1999, the Sentra from 1991-2000, the cool 240SX from 1995-1998, the NX from 1991-1993, the Altima from 1993-1997, and the Almera from 2001-2004. It's a simple, single-piece replacement that should help your door shut securely and quietly again. Usually, installation is pretty straightforward – you just need to loosen a couple of bolts, swap the old striker for this new one, and tighten it back up (tools not included). Always good to check your specific vehicle's manual to be sure. A cheap fix for a common problem that can make a big difference in how your car feels.
