Door Adjustment, Checking

Door Adjustment, Checking

Special tools, testers and auxiliary items required

• Template (T40038/4)





- Use the template (T40038/4) as described in the following for testing (for example, for wind noises) and for adjusting door.

- For testing contact pressure of sealing lips on roof trim molding, use a standard bank card - 1 - or similar means.

- For a correct adjustment, adjusting template - 3 - must make contact on roof trim molding - 2 - and on roof - 1 - - arrow -.





Testing Sealing Lip/Roof Trim Molding Contact





- Using a standard bank card, drive off contact area of sealing lip to roof trim molding with light pressure.

- When doing this, card must not sink in between sealing lip - 1 - and roof trim molding - 2 -.

Door Adjustment at Sides (Inclination Adjustment)

- Template has points of different lengths at arrows - a - and - b -.





- These allow the side adjustment of the doors to be checked.

- On the side with the "max" marking, check whether window frame is seated too far outside.

- On the side with the "min" marking, check whether window frame is seated too far inside.

- Position template at dimension - a - = 200 mm and with cut-out - arrow - facing door window





- Make sure that points - 1 - and - 3 - make contact.

- At point - 2 - of template, there must be a gap.

- In this position (max), doors are adjusted to farthest outward point within tolerance range.

- If there is no gap at point - 2 -, or there is a gap at point - 1 -, the window frame is set too far outward and must be adjusted.

- The side with arrow - b - (min marking) is used to check whether the window frame is located too far inward in relation to the body.





- Position template at dimension - a - = 125 mm and with cut-out - arrow - turned away from door window as depicted in magnified areas of illustration.

- Make sure that points - 2 - and - 3 - make contact on door window.





- At point - 1 - of template, there must be a gap.

- In this position (min), doors are adjusted to farthest inward point within tolerance range.

- If point - 1 - has no gap, or if template cannot be brought into contact at point - 2 -, window frame is set too far inward and must be adjusted.

Height Adjustment at Window Frame

- If height of window frame must be adjusted, then the fitting bolts - 6 - must be replaced with a standard bolt of same length and rigidity.

- Window frame - 1 -can now be adjusted in height to door - 4 -.





- Install the seals - 2 - and - 5 - into the window frame.

- Position adjusting template as shown on roof, or on upper edge of rain channel.

- Lower edge of window frame must be located within area - a - of template groove for a correct adjustment.





- Check/adjust inclination of window frame.

Front Door Adjustment

- Door position can be assessed using lower side of adjusting template (T40038/4) (illustration shows other template).





- No door recess in relation to side panel - 2 - is permitted.

- Recess of front door - 1 - to side panel - 2 - is not permitted (wind noise).

- Projection (maximum 0.8 mm) of front door to side panel must be in range of template cut-out - arrow -.
