Front Door: Adjustments

Door, Adjusting






• The vehicle must be resting on its wheels to adjust the front door.

• The front door is adjusted properly when it has an even gap dimension overall when closed, it does not rest too far in or out and the contours align.

• To check gap dimensions:

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

For correct gap dimension adjustment, screws - 3, 4, 6 and 7 - at A-pillar must be loosened. For screw - 5 -, lower A-pillar trim must be removed,

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

The bolts- 2 and 5 - must be loosened in order to correctly adjust the flush dimension.

For this, the door adjusting wrench (3320) with the bit insert (3320/3) must be used.

Adjust striker pin.

- Loosen the latch bracket - 1 - by loosening the bolts - 2 - on the A-pillar.





- Adjust front door with striker pin - 1 - so that front door aligns with rear door when closed (wind noise).
