Front Door Adjustment using T40038/5
Front Door Adjustment using T40038/5
Special tools, testers and auxiliary items required
• Template (T40038/5)
- Use the (T40038/5) as described in the following for testing (for example, for wind noises) and for adjusting door.
- For testing contact pressure of sealing lips on roof trim molding, use a standard bank card - 1 - or similar means.
Testing sealing lip/roof trim molding contact
- Using a standard bank card, drive off contact area of sealing lip to roof trim molding with light pressure.
- When doing this, card must not sink in between sealing lip - 1 - and roof trim molding - 2 -.
(T40038/5)
- Template has a "Min" and "Max" marking so that lateral adjustment of door can be checked.
• "Min" and "Max." markings indicate the minimum and maximum door pre-tension.
• This means the "Max" marking indicates the door is adjusted to maximum pre-tension (maximum toward inside).
• Some illustrations depict other templates, this has no effect on the testing and adjusting procedure.
Adjusting "Max"
- In this position (max), doors are adjusted to maximum pre-tension (furthest inward).
- Position template at dimension - a - = 180 mm and "Max" marking facing door window
- Make sure that points - 1 - and - 3 - make contact.
- At point - 2 - of template, there must be a gap.
- In this position (max), doors are adjusted to maximum pre-tension (furthest inward).
- If there is no gap at point - 2 -, or there is a gap at point - 1 -, the window frame is set too far outward (insufficient pre-tension) and must be adjusted.
Adjusting "Min"
- In this position "Min", doors are adjusted to minimum pre-tension (furthest outward).
- Position template at dimension - a - = 180 mm and "Min" marking facing door window
- Make sure that points - 2 - and - 3 - make contact on door window.
- At point - 1 - of template, there must be a gap.
- In this position (min), doors are adjusted to minimum pre-tension (furthest outward).
- If point - 1 - has no gap, or if template cannot be brought into contact at point - 2 -, window frame is set too far outward and must be adjusted.
Height adjustment at window frame
- If height of window frame must be adjusted, then the collared shoulder bolts - 1 - must be replaced with a standard bolt of same length and rigidity.
- Now, the window frame height can be adjusted.
- Install the seals - 2 - and - 3 - into the window frame.
- Position adjusting template as shown on roof, or on upper edge of rain channel.
- For a correct adjustment, lower edge of window frame must be located between markings - a -, (line on template - arrow -) or - b -.
- Check/adjust inclination of window frame.
- Door position can be assessed using lower side of (T40038/5).
- No door recess in relation to side panel - 2 - is permitted.
- Recess of front door - 1 - to side panel - 2 - is not permitted (wind noise).
- Projection (maximum 0,8 mm) of front door to side panel must be in range of template cut-out - arrow -.
