Door Adjustment

Door, Adjusting Gap Dimension and Flush Dimension

• The vehicle must remain on its tires in order for the door to be adjusted.

• 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.

• For checking the gap dimensions

• Apply corrosion protection to the hinges and bolts after assembling or adjusting.






Adjusting Gap Dimensions

It is necessary to loosen the bolts - 2 -, - 5 - and - 6 - on the A-pillar in order to adjust the gap dimensions correctly.

- To remove the bolt - 5 -, the A-pillar lower trim must be removed..

- To remove the bolt - 6 -, the instrument panel must be removed..

Flush Adjustment

The bolts - 3 - must be loosened in order to adjust the flush dimensions correctly.

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

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