i ended up buying a chunk of 1/2" thick wall schedule 80 PVC. I dont have a lathe, but ran a 1/2" bolt through it and mounted to drill press to file down the diameter. Left the diameter just a little larger than the factory listed 11/16. Ran a larger drill bit through it so it fit on the door striker.
The door now works like a dream!!! I cant believe how long I put up with the crappy closing door, not realizing the striker silencer was the primary culprit. The old striker was a little chewed up as well, so now have new OEM strikers and custom silencers!

The PY Online Forums is the largest online gathering of Pontiac enthusiasts anywhere in the world. Founded in 1991, it was also the first online forum for people to gather and talk about their Pontiacs. Since then, it has become the mecca of Pontiac technical data and knowledge that no other place can surpass.
