Technical X250 - Sliding door upper striker pin

[AsdaPricey]

Hello

I want to change the adjustable top r/h striker pin on the sliding door of my 2008 Ducato X250 which is a IH van conversion.
The pin is worn and the closed resting position erratic causing the occasional minor ingress of water as the door sometimes doesn’t sit flush against the seal.

Is the floating nut inside the door frame to which the striker pin threads into, captive or will it need holding in place? - I ask because if it’s the latter I will need to strip out upper lockers to gain access.

Any help appreciated.

I think you will find it is a sliding captive nut, so far on all the older Fiat Ducato, Citroen Relay and Iveco Daily ones I have worked on that has been the case.
However just to be careful as you slacken it off, move it around a little to check, but generally that is the case.

Thank you - think for belts and braces I’ll send borescope up from bottom to check as I’d wound the pin out a fair way and it felt as if it would drop out. When I posted I’d forgotten I’d got the scope doh!
