  Striker, Plate Door Lock Striker

• Description:

  This is a genuine Ford liftgate lock striker plate, catalogued under base number 54404A42, fitted to the rear of the Edge and Lincoln MKX. The striker is the steel loop that the liftgate latch grips when the rear gate is closed, giving the latch a fixed anchor so the liftgate latches securely, stays tightly closed, and works correctly with the power liftgate system on so-equipped vehicles. Owners replace this striker when the original is worn, bent, loose, or damaged, or when the liftgate rattles, fails to latch firmly, or will not cinch closed, since a worn striker prevents the latch from holding the gate properly. Because it is a safety-related latching component, Ford supplies it as a complete striker plate, and it bolts into the original location so the latch engages with the correct alignment. Built to Ford specifications, it matches the original mounting holes, height, and engagement geometry for a direct fit without modification. The 54404A42 striker base is shared across several Ford and Lincoln utility models with power liftgates, so the application should be matched to your vehicle. Fitment covers the Edge and MKX across the 18-24 span, with this striker family also used on related utility models. Confirm the model, model year, and power-liftgate configuration against the Ford catalog before ordering, and check liftgate alignment after installation so the latch engages the striker squarely.
