Door adjustment

Note: The vehicle must be on wheels to adjust the front door.

Note: The door is correctly adjusted when the gaps are the same on all sides when closed, the door does not protrude outward, is not recessed inward and is flush with other body parts.

To adjust or check gaps

After installation or adjustment, take measures for anti-corrosion protection of the hinge and screws.

To properly adjust the door, loosen the door hinge on the pillar. Other measures, such as pulling the door up, are ineffective. Upon subsequent loading, the door will sag again.

In this case, use the special tool wrench to adjust the doors.

Adjust the lock shackle:

Lock shackle adjustment

Loosen the lock loop 1 by unscrewing the screws 2 on the B-pillar (pic. 8.32).

Note: The adjustment description is for the right front door only. Adjustment of the left forward door is carried out similarly.

Note: The front door must close completely with no additional effort and no play.

Note: After adjusting the lock shackle, the front door should not press up or down.

Note: You can adjust the lock loop: if the front door is not flush with the rear.

Adjust the front door by adjusting the lock loop 1 so that the front door is flush with the rear door when closed (noise goes away at speed).

Tighten the screws 2 of the lock bracket 1.
