Front Door: Adjustments

Door Position Adjustment

NOTE: 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 ami body edges are parallel.

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




2. Adjust at the hinges (A):
- Remove the front inner fender and front fender fairing. Loosen the hinge mounting bolts (B) slightly, and move the door backward or forward, up or down as necessary to equalize the gaps.
- Place a shop towel (C) on the jack (D) to prevent damage to the door when adjusting the door.

3. If necessary, replace the door mounting bolts with the adjusting bolts (P/N 90102-SFA-305) made specifically for door adjustment, then adjust at the door. Loosen the door mounting bolts (E) slightly, and move the door up or down as necessary to equalize the gaps, and in or out until it's flush with the body.




4. 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.
5. Apply touch-up paint to the hinge mounting bolts and around the hinges.
6. Check for water leaks.
7. Reinstall all remaining removed parts.
8. Test-drive and check for wind noise.
