Door, Adjusting





• Vehicle must stand on its wheels in order to be able to perform the rear door adjustment.

• The rear door is properly adjusted when there is an overall even gap dimension when closed, it is not too far inward or outward and contours align.

• Perform corrosion protection measures on the hinge and bolts after assembly or adjusting work.

For correct gap dimension adjustment, screws - 5, 6, 10 and 14 - at B-pillar must be loosened. For bolt - 5 -, lower B-pillar trim must be removed and the (3410) can be used.

Other measures, such as aligning the door upward, are not effective. Excess pressure thereafter will again cause the door to sag.

Bolts - 2, 3 and 12 - must be loosened to adjust flush dimension correctly.

(3320) with (3320/3) must be used for this.
