Front Door: Adjustments

ADJUSTMENT

HINT:
- On the RH side, use the same procedures as on the LH side.




- Since a centering bolt is used as a door hinge mounting bolt on the body side and the door side, the door can not be adjusted with it on. Substitute a bolt with a washer for the centering bolt.
