Door Position Adjustment

WARNING: This page is about a different variant/trim than selected.
NOTE:
  • After installing the door, check for a flush fit with the adjacent body panels, then check for equal gaps between the front, rear, and bottom, door edges and the body. Check that the door and body edges are parallel. Before adjusting, replace the mounting bolts.
  1. Place the vehicle on a firm, level surface when adjusting the doors.
  2. Check that the door and body edges are parallel.
  3. Adjust at the hinges (A):
    1. Loosen the door mounting bolts slightly, and move the door in or out until it aligns flush with the body.
    2. Loosen the hinge mounting bolts slightly, and move the door backward or forward, up or down as necessary to equalize the gaps.
    3. Place a shop towel on the jack to prevent damage to the door when adjusting the door.
