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.
Adjust at the hinges (A):
- Loosen the door mounting bolts (B) slightly, and move the door in or out until it's flush with the body.
- Remove the inner fender (see INNER FENDER REPLACEMENT ). With a shop towel (C) on the jack (D), slightly loosen the hinge mounting bolts (E), and move the door backward or forward, up or down as necessary to equalize the gaps.
