Striker, Adjusting
WARNING: This page is about a different variant/trim than selected.
NOTE:
The following describes adjusting the right front door. Adjusting the left front door is identical.
When closing, the door must lock completely without applying additional force and it must not have any play.
By adjusting the catch, the door must not be pushed upward or downward.
The alignment of the front door to the side panel can be adjusted using the striker (wind noises).
-- Loosen the bolts -2- on the B-pillar and loosen the striker -1-.
-- Adjust the door with the striker -1- so that the front door aligns with the side panel when it is closed (wind noises) in direction of -arrows a and b-.
NOTE:
More force may be needed to move the striker -1- when the bolts -2- are loose.
-- Tighten the bolts -2- on the striker -1-.
