Valid questions Brian. When I got the truck, it had old rubber. The door still did not close all the way. I looked at the latch and there was some wear in the middle where it was catching the striker plate. Even though I was able to get the latch to work in both positions with the door open, I am not confident that it's working properly when I close the door. As Ogre said, they aren't horrendously expensive so I thought I would give the ones a shot. I will take a photo of the old latch tomorrow and let you guys tell me what you all think.
