Drivers door open message.

Drivers door open message.
A few weeks ago I started to get drivers door open message and the associated alarm, window up and locking issues that go with it. I put in a new micro switch as was suggested in numerous threads on the forum. Th problem has showed up again so I started to investigate. I noticed that the plastic has worn through on the striker suggeating that the latch may not be fully against the micro switch wjen the door is closed. I wrapped a bit of duct tape around the black plastic on the striker and problem solved. Obviosly the duct tape will not endure so I have ordered a new striker, $53.12 canadian. I will let you know how it works out.
Latch has worn through plastic sleeve on door striker, same on the bottom of this view.

The door is not sagging.
As I said, wrapping some duct tape aroud the worn parts solved the drivers door open message. The worn plastic through to the metal are top and bottom not in and out. I did try your suggestion without the duct tape and it did not make the warning message go off. Will let you know how the new striker works out..
