- Adjust the doors to the following specifications:
| • | Front door to rear door gap: 4.0 mm +/- 1.0 mm (0.157 in +/- 0.039 in) |
| • | Front and rear door header to roof gap: 6.0 mm +/- 1.5 mm (0.236 in +/- 0.059 in) |
| • | Rear door to quarter panel gap: 4.0 mm +/- 1.0 mm (0.157 in +/- 0.039 in) |
| • | Rear door to sail panel gap: 4.0 mm +/- 1.0 mm (0.157 in +/- 0.039 in) |
Important: If the door hinge fasteners (1) are removed, the anchor plate
will fall into the door causing a complete teardown to replace.
- Loosen the hinge fasteners in order to adjust the door at the door hinge
pillar in the following directions:
- Reposition the door as needed.
- Adjust for a limited up
or down movement at the body side hinge attachments.
Notice: Use the correct fastener in the correct location. Replacement fasteners
must be the correct part number for that application. Fasteners requiring
replacement or fasteners requiring the use of thread locking compound or sealant
are identified in the service procedure. Do not use paints, lubricants, or
corrosion inhibitors on fasteners or fastener joint surfaces unless specified.
These coatings affect fastener torque and joint clamping force and may damage
the fastener. Use the correct tightening sequence and specifications when
installing fasteners in order to avoid damage to parts and systems.
- Position the door
fore or aft at the body hinge pillar attachment. Perform the following steps
as needed:
| 5.1. | Loosen the fasteners. |
| 5.2. | Reposition the door. |
| 5.3. | Tighten the fasteners. |
Tighten
Tighten the fasteners to 30 N·m (22 lb ft).
