• Door adjusting wrench (3320)

• Joint for 3320 (3320/1)

• Box wrench (3320/2)

• Box wrench (3320/3)

• Torque wrench (V.A.G 1331)

• The vehicle must be standing on its wheels in order to adjust 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.

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






Adjusting Gap Dimensions

For correct gap dimension adjustment, the bolts - 3 - and - 4 - on the B-pillar must be loosened.

- It is necessary to remove the B-pillar lower trim in order to access the bolts - 4 -.

Flush Adjustment

The bolts - 2 - 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 rear doors upward, do not work. Excess pressure thereafter will again cause the rear door to sag.
