Door Position Adjustment

NOTE:

After installing the door, check for a flush fit with the Body, 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.

Place the vehicle on a firm, level surface when adjusting the doors.
