Front Door: Adjustments

Door Adjustment

• The 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.

• Vehicle must stand on its wheels while they are on the ground in order to be able to perform the adjustment.






Adjusting the gap dimensions

- Make sure the front door gap dimension is correct.

Adjustments are made using the eccentric pin - 9 -.

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

- Loosen eccentric pin bolt - 6 -.

- Adjust the eccentric bolt - 9 - within the adjustment range - 7 - using a 15 mm open ring spanner (T10344).

- Tighten screw - 6 -, tightening specification: 28 Nm.

- Striker pin, adjusting

Adjusting the flush dimension

The flush dimension is adjusted using the bolts - 2, 3, 5 and 8 - on the door hinge.

Door adjusting wrench (3320) with bit insert (3320/3) must be used for this.

- In order to adjust the upper area of the door, loosen bolts - 5 and 8 -.

- Bolt - 5 - tightening specifications: 10 Nm.

- Bolt - 8 - tightening specification: 38 Nm.

- In order to adjust the lower area of the door, loosen bolts - 2, 3 and 4 -.

- Bolt - 2 - tightening specifications: 10 Nm.

- Screws - 3 and 4 - tightening specification: 38 Nm.

- Striker pin, adjusting






If the adjustment using the eccentric bolt is insufficient, then adjust the gap dimensions on the door hinge once again using the screws - 2, 3, 4, and 5 -.

Door adjusting wrench (3320) with bit insert (3320/3) must be used for this.

- Tightening specification for screws - 2, 3, 4, and 5 -: 50 Nm.

Always replace the screws - 2, 3, 4, and 5 -.

Striker Pin, Adjusting

• When closing, the front door must latch completely without having to press it and it must not have any play.

• By adjusting the striker pin, door must not be pushed upward or downward.

The striker pin can be used to adjust:

• If the front door does not align with the rear door.

- Loosen the bolts - 2 - on the B-pillar to loosen the bracket - 2 -.
