Front and Rear Door Position Adjustment

20-167  

SRS components are located in the centre pillar bottom area. Review the SRS component locations (see page 23-24) and the precautions and procedures (see page 23-25) in the SRS section before performing repairs or service.

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. Before adjusting, replace the mounting bolts.

  1. Place the vehicle on a firm, level surface when adjusting the doors.
  2. 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.
  • On the front door: Remove the front inner fender (see page 20-259) and front fender fairing (see page 20-260). Loosen the hinge mounting bolts (C) slightly and move the door backward or forward, up or down as necessary to equalise the gaps.
  • On the rear door: Remove the centre pillar lower trim (see page 20-206) and remove the front seat belt and retractor (see page 23-15) and the plug seal from the body. Loosen the hinge mounting nuts (D) slightly and move the door backward or forward, up or down as necessary to equalise the gaps.
  • Place a shop towel (E) on the jack (F) to prevent damage to the door when adjusting the door.
