Open your tailgate. Using the T45 Torx bit, remove your striker. We'll then install the new striker. Ours is fine, so we're just reinstalling it. These are adjustable, so you'll want to line up to where the old marks were. Carefully close your tailgate to check the alignment. Ours is good, so we're all set.
If yours isn't loosen it up, and adjust it accordingly. Repeat these steps on the opposite side if necessary.
