DECKLID/Hatch/Liftgate/Tailgate/Swing Gate: Striker: Adjustments: Stabilizer

  1. Adjust the insert up/down so that it is centered within the stabilizer cup.
  2. Adjust the insert for/aft so the swing gate is 1.0 mm over flush to the D-pillar when the insert contacts the rubber bumper in the stabilizer cup.
  3. Open the tail gate and tighten the bolts to 10 N.m (90 in. lbs.).
    NOTE:

    Make sure the stabilizer cup and insert are parallel to each other and not twisted.

  4. Close the tail gate and grab the beltline. Confirm minimal for/aft movement and that closing effort is not excessive. Readjust as required.
