ADJUSTMENT

NOTE: Door adjustment measurements should be taken from stationary or welded body panels like the roof, rocker or quarter panels.

• During adjustment procedures, it is recommended that all the hinge fasteners be loosened except for the upper most fasteners. Adjustments can be made using the upper bolts to hold the door with final torque of the fasteners occurring after correct door positioning is achieved.
• A suitable body sealant should be used when removing or moving the hinges.

FORE/AFT

NOTE: Fore/aft (lateral) door adjustment is done by loosening the hinge to the body fasteners one hinge at a time and moving the door to the correct position.

UP/DOWN

NOTE: Up/down door adjustment is done by loosening either the hinge to the body fasteners or the hinge to door fasteners and moving the door to the correct position.

NOTE: When the up/down adjustments are done correctly, the top of the door is positioned over flush to the roof (Refer to 23 - BODY/BODY STRUCTURE/GAP AND FLUSH - SPECIFICATIONS).

NOTE: When adjustment of the rear door requires the loosening of the door to hinge fasteners, it will be necessary to separate the epoxy bonded washers with a chisel or other suitable tool.

IN/OUT

NOTE: In/out door adjustment is done by loosening the hinge to door fasteners one hinge at a time and moving the door to the correct position.

NOTE: When adjustment of the rear door requires the loosening of the door to hinge fasteners, it will be necessary to separate the epoxy bonded washers with a chisel or other suitable tool.
