Information

- Check that the door and body edges are parallel.
- Place the vehicle on a firm, level surface when adjusting the doors.
- Adjust at the hinges (A):
- Loosen the door mounting bolts slightly, and move the door in or out until it aligns flush with the body.
- Loosen the hinge mounting bolts slightly, and move the door backward or forward, up or down as necessary to equalize the gaps.
- Place a shop towel on the jack to prevent damage to the door when adjusting the door.
