Rear Door: Adjustments

Front and Rear Door Position Adjustment

SRS components are located in this area. Review the SRS component locations and the precautions and procedures before performing repairs or service.

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 and body edges are parallel.

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







2. Adjust at the hinges (A):
- Pad a floor jack (B) with a shop towel (C) and use the jack to support the door during the adjustment procedure.
- On the 2-door and the 4-door front door: Remove the front inner fender and front fender fairing. Loosen the hinge mounting bolts (D) slightly, and move the door backward or forward, up or down as necessary to equalize the gaps.
- On the 4-door rear door: Remove the B-pillar lower trim and remove the front seat belt and retractor, and the plug seal from the body. Loosen the hinge mounting nuts (E) slightly, and move the door backward or forward, up or down as necessary to equalize the gaps.
3. If necessary, replace the door mounting bolts (F) with the adjusting bolts (P/N 90102-SFA-305) made specifically for door adjustment, then adjust at the door: Loosen the adjusting bolts slightly, and move the door in or out until it's flush with the body, and up or down to equalize gaps.




4. Check that the door and body edges are parallel. If necessary, adjust the door cushions (A) to make the rear of the doors flush with the body.
5. Apply touch-up paint to the hinge mounting bolts and around the hinges.
6. Reinstall all remaining removed parts.
7. Check for water leaks.
8. Test-drive and check for wind noise.
