The door striker plate is composed of two pieces of metal with rubber in between. The rubber is vulcanized to the metal surfaces with the addition of sulfur and temperature to harden the rubber and to strengthen the bond to the metal surfaces. For a hefty price Steele will re-vulcanize your striker plate but you must have both metal pieces. I only had one complete metal striker plate on my car and two metal pieces with no rubber - I used urethane rubber to bond to the metal, for the other missing striker plates I was able to find solid SS Ford plates for the rear doors that have worked well - so far.
