The door is installed correctly if, after closing, its gaps relative to adjacent body parts are parallel, and the door itself does not protrude or sink, its contour coincides with the contour of adjacent parts.
The fall of the rear side door relative to the front door by about 1 mm is allowed.
Gap width. Golf Cars:
- Gap between front door and front fender - 3.5±0.5 mm
- Gap between front door and rear fender (two-door cars) - 3.5±0.5 mm
- The gap between the front and rear doors - 4.2±0.5 mm
- The gap between the rear door and the rear fender - 3.5±0.5 mm
- Gap between door and threshold — 4.5±0.5 mm
If the specified nominal dimensions are not maintained, then the lock bracket should be removed from the body and the door hinge bolts should be loosened.
2. Loosen the bolts 5 fastening the upper hinge and bolts 1 and 2 - the lower hinge of the door (see illustrations).

1 - bolt. Tightening torque 20 Nm + 90°turn
2 - bolt. Tightening torque 20 Nm + 90°turn. Accessible only from the salon
3 - bolt. Tightening torque 20 Nm + 90°turn
4 - guide pin. Tightening torque 10 Nm
Attention! For access to bolt 2 (see illustration 58.2) first remove the lower trim on the A-pillar, or on the B-pillar if the rear side door is removed.
Attention! The bolts are self-locking and must be replaced with new ones after each disassembly. The exception is the guide pins.
3. Adjust the door by sliding it forward or backward on the hinges.
Attention! Trying to move the door up is useless because the door will immediately move down.
4. Loosen bolts 3 and 6, as well as guide pins 4 and 7 to fit the door along the contour and fit the door (see illustrations 58.2 and 58.2a).
Attention! If the fit of the door needs to be corrected only slightly, then it is enough to loosen the lock nut 9 on the upper hinge of the door, and then turn the eccentric bolt 8 by the hexagonal head in the desired direction (see illustration 58.2).
5. After fitting, tighten the hinge bolts to 20 Nm and then tighten them with a wrench 1/4 turn (90°).
Tighten guide pins 4 and 7 to 10 Nm (see illustrations 58.2 and 58.2a).
6. Reinstall and bolt the lock bracket 1, tightening the bolts by hand until the bracket can only be displaced with sufficient force (see arrows in illustration).
7. Close the door. In this case, the bracket will move and take the desired position. Then carefully open the door and tighten the bolts to 20 Nm.
