Abstract
A striker may engage a latch mechanism of a vehicle—the latch mechanism of the vehicle being capable of being latched and unlatched—to help prevent chucking of the vehicle and to assist in opening a door of the vehicle. The striker may comprise a base, a post attached to the base, a plate positionable relative to the post to a first position adjacent the post and a second position spaced from the post. The striker may further comprise a biasing member engaged with the plate, wherein the biasing member positions the plate to the first position when the latch mechanism is unlatched.
