Have seen many C1's using or buyers buying the wrong door strikers.
The ones on the left are NOS original that have the ( R/H & L/H markings ,rubber stoppers and lower floating locking section ) the plastic slider pin does not extent through the housing.
The ones on the right are second design replacements many people use or buy ( all looks the same but the plastic pin goes through the housing )
This is what you need to look for when buying original's ,there is a third design NOT having the floating bottom area and is solid .
The reason for the rubber stop and floating lower section was to aid in the shock of closing your door on the fiberglass.All three designs have the same part number so watch for this because looking in e-bay I see many people buying the wrong so called NOS part!
