Body Gap Dimensions
The following are dimensions for the body gaps that are measured when manufacturing the vehicle.
The dimensions are an average value of the measurements on the new vehicles.
Measuring is done on a painted body.
On unpainted body, the gap increases by approx. 0.2 mm.
The dimensions vary from vehicle to vehicle. Use the dimensions in this method as a basis.
There are no max. or min. dimensions given as there must be harmony in the gaps on the visible surface.
Final checks/adjustments must be performed when the vehicle is painted in the correct color.
If a black unpainted front fender is installed on a white vehicle, it is very difficult to, see the size of the gap between the fender and door.
Level adjustment (applies for adjusting of doors, fenders and covers)
The front part must be positioned above the part behind it as shown above, partly to overlap in case of a collision, partly to reduce wind noise. M1 = 0.5 mm.
