This part cross-references Dorman - HELP 38445 for the same application. SKP SK38445 is a practical replacement choice when servicing a worn or damaged striker on Ford Crown Victoria, Lincoln Town Car, or Mercury Grand Marquis models.

Use this door lock striker when the original striker is worn, loose, or no longer aligns the latch correctly. It is also a direct replacement for Ford Explorer front door applications and other listed Ford, Lincoln, and Mercury body-door fitments.

  • Door latch does not engage cleanly
  • Door feels loose at the striker point
  • Latch alignment is off after striker wear
  • Door closure requires extra force
  • Original striker is damaged or corroded

Installation requires matching the striker to the correct vehicle and door opening before tightening. Verify the existing mounting location and latch alignment during replacement, especially on 1991-2005 Ford Explorer front applications and other listed fitments. SK38445 should be checked against the original part shape and mounting pattern before installation.

Quality assurance is supported by SKP replacement-part manufacturing and the listed interchange with Dorman - HELP 38445.
