IMPORTANT

Adjust hood, doors and trunk lid as shown in drawings. The gap should not run wedge-shaped or be too narrow at points. Deviations from parallel gap should be max. 0.5 mm over the entire length. If the inside clearance is too large or too small, the movable body parts must be centered accordingly. The reference measurements apply only for repair work on bodies damaged in accidents.
