Adjustment to center of vehicle

• A fitting bolt is installed at each upper and lower door hinge (door side).

- The adjustment to vehicle center occurs by loosening hinge bolts (arrow -B-) at top and/or at bottom of door and shifting the doors (elongated holes in hinge).





- Tightening torque: 32 Nm

• In rear portion of door, adjust door depth (relative to vehicle center) via striker.
