This is a set of four custom made Torx head door striker bolts. They will eliminate many headaches related to door closing issues on the W126 and 560SL doors. These are extras you may need when you adjust or replace your striker(s), and they do not include instructions or special tools. We also offer the original hex head bolts if desired, as they are still available as of May 2024.
Product Details
If needed, please see related products below for instructional videos, special tools, and new strikers. These will require a T45 Torx socket to install.
This is what the bolts look like when installed.
