Hello everyone,
I'm new to the site, so I apologize if I made some rookie mistakes in posting for the first time. Anyway, I'm having trouble shutting the hatch on my 89 5.0.; I recently replaced the hatch weatherstripping as well as the strut arms that hold up the hatch.

I went ahead and purchased a new striker and bushing from LMR and threw that baby on, unfortunately, I haven't been able to close my hatch ever since. No amount of frustrated slamming seems to do the trick; at least before it would close after two or three slams, now it won't close at all. I was just hoping to get some advice from yall on what I should try next, I imagine some of you might have en
