WARNING: This page does not describe the selected car, but rather 7 other vehicles, including the 2017 Honda Odyssey, 2016 Honda Odyssey, 2015 Honda Odyssey, 2014 Honda Odyssey, and 2013 Honda Odyssey. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.

NOTE: 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.

Place the vehicle on a firm, level surface when adjusting the doors.
Adjust at the hinges (A).
1. Remove the front fender enclosure (see FRONT FENDER ENCLOSURE REPLACEMENT ).
2. Pad a floor jack (B) with shop towels (C), then use the jack to support the door while adjusting it.
3. Loosen the hinge mounting bolts (D) slightly, and move the door backward or forward, up or down as necessary to equalize the gaps.

If necessary, replace the door mounting bolts with the adjusting bolts made specifically for door adjustment, then adjust at the door: Loosen the door mounting bolts (E) slightly, and move the door up or down as necessary to equalize the gaps, and move it in or out until it's flush with the body.
NOTE: Refer to the Parts Catalog if you need to use an adjusting bolt.
Check that the door and the body edges are parallel. If necessary, adjust the door cushions (A) to make the rear of the doors flush with the body.

Make sure the door opens without popping or binding and latches securely without slamming. If not, adjust the door striker (see FRONT DOOR STRIKER ADJUSTMENT ).
Tighten the mounting bolts to the specified torque.
Apply touch-up paint to the hinge mounting bolts and around the hinges.
Check for water leaks (see step 8 ).
