Rear Door: Adjustments







Door, Adjusting Gap Dimension and Flush Dimension

The vehicle must standing on all four wheels when adjusting the rear door.

The rear 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

For correct gap dimension adjustment, the fasteners - 2 - and - 5 - on the B-pillar must be loosened.

- For the fasteners - 2 -, the B-pillar lower trim 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.

Ignore item - 4 -.
