Door, Adjusting: Adjusting

NOTE:

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

The front door is properly adjusted when there is an overall even gap dimension when closed. It is not too far inward or outward and the contours align.

To check the gap dimension, refer to appropriate service information

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