- e: 2.7-4.7 mm {0.11-0.18 in}
- f: -1.0-1.0 mm {-0.039-0.039 in}
- If the measured value exceeds the standard clearance, adjust the door using the following procedure:
- Loosen the door hinge installation bolts, and reposition the door. (See FRONT DOOR REMOVAL/INSTALLATION .) (See REAR DOOR REMOVAL/INSTALLATION .)
- Tighten the door hinge installation bolts and nut. (See FRONT DOOR REMOVAL/INSTALLATION .) (See REAR DOOR REMOVAL/INSTALLATION .)
- Verify that the gap and height difference between the door and the body is within the specification.
- If the door does not open/close smoothly, adjust it by loosening the door lock striker installation screw. (See DOOR LOCK STRIKER REMOVAL/INSTALLATION .)
- Verify that the door opens/closes smoothly.
- Spray or pour water on the door and surrounding area using a hose or high pressure water pressure car wash and verify that there is no water leakage.
