Hooks on door pillar

Hi, this is Bo, an auto expert on RepairPal's Car Genius team! It's how you know if your car is a pirate or not! The hook on your pillar is likely the latch striker. This is the part that the door latch engages with to keep the door securely closed. It works with the door latch mechanism to hold the door shut when you close it. It's a critical component for the door’s functionality and safety. If you're seeing something else, it might be a handle or clip for securing cargo nets or other accessories. If you have any other questions, please call us at 877-913-1554! We'll gladly find you a certified RepairPal shop in your area!
