Abstract
A striker assembly for a vehicle door opening comprising a base member having a central embossed portion provided with mounting holes and fastener receiving holes above and below the embossed portion and a striker member having mounting elements extending rearwardly therefrom constructed and arranged to pass through the mounting holes with free ends deformed to extend over the embossed portion to fixedly retain the striker member to the base member. The striker member has a mounting portion, a post portion extending from the mounting portion, a connecting portion extending from the end of the post portion in generally parallel relation to the mounting portion defining a latch receiving opening and an inner end portion. Preferably, the striker assembly is mounted by resilient material adhered between the interior surfaces of a mounting member and the exterior surfaces of the base member disposed therein to thereby resiliently cushion the tendency of the striker member fixed to said base member and extending outwardly of the mounting member to be moved in any direction during operation.
