Front Door: Adjustments

Door, Adjusting

For proper door adjustment, door hinge must be loosened at pillar. Other measures, such as aligning door upward, are not effective. Excess pressure thereafter will again cause door to sag.

For this, Door adjusting wrench 3320 with Box spanner 3320/2 must be used.

If it should be necessary that door hinge must be loosened at upper A-pillar from inside, Socket insert 3410 can be used. To do so, instrument cluster must be removed.

Adjusting door at striker plate







- Loosen bolts - 2 -.
- Move striker plate - 1 - until door shell is flush with contour of body.
- Tighten bolts.

Tightening torque: 20 Nm

CAUTION: Use this adjustment only to align the door inward or outward, not vertically. Door should not move up or down when closed or opened. If this occurs, vertical alignment of striker is incorrect
