Door striker problem

My door striker on the drivers side of my cutlass is broken. Its still in the connect to the car but if you touch it it will move around & it keep the door from completely closing. How can I fix this?

Are you sure it is not loose? It is really a big bolt. Turn it CW with the right size Torx wrench and it will tighten up. Will take a little experimentation to get it aligned right to get the door to close and latch correctly.

Thanks for your input. I'm going to try that
