Front Door: Adjustments

Door Position Adjustment

NOTE: After installing the door, check for a flush fit with the body, then check for equal gaps between the front, rear, and bottom door edges and the body. Check that the door and body edges are parallel.

1. Place the vehicle on a firm, level surface when adjusting the doors.




2. Adjust at the hinges (A):
- Loosen the door mounting bolts (B) slightly, and move the door in or out until it's flush with the body.
- With a shop towel (C) on the jack (D), move the door up or down as necessary to equalize the gaps.




3. Check that the door and body edges are parallel. If necessary, adjust the door cushions (A) to make the rear of the door flush with the body.




4. Grease the pivot portions of the hinges indicated by the arrows.
5. Apply touch-up paint to the hinge mounting bolts, and around the hinges.
6. Check for water leaks.
