Side Door Front Assembly, Adjusting
Side door front assembly, adjusting
Note! The illustrations in this service information are used for different model years and / or models. Some variation may occur. However, the essential information in the illustrations is always correct.
Caution! Always use battery back-up in the event of long adjusting times.
Adjustment must always be carried out with the side window in the highest position and with the convertible top closed.
Caution! Adjustment must be carried out step by step in the following order.
Step 1
Adjusting the base of the door mirror
Conditions:
- the side window run must be in the middle of the base of the door mirror when operating
- the line must be straight.
OK? See Step 2.
Not OK? See the following point.
Check that the rubber lips are in contact with the side window, both on the inside and the outside.
If not, there is a high risk of wind noise.
The base of the door mirror can be adjusted forwards and backwards, as well as in and out.
The top of the base of the door mirror is adjusted inwards and outwards using the curved washer under the base.
Note! Mark the position of the base of the door mirror against the power window lift mechanism cassette, both vertically and horizontally. In this way the starting position is ensured so that direction and distance are clear when making the adjustment.
Slacken off the 2 screws at the mounting for the base of the door mirror.
If the washer under the base of the door mirror is moved in the direction of the arrow (1), the top part is angled in the opposite direction (1).
The same applies for the arrow pointing in the other direction (2).
Move the base of the door mirror in the desired direction (3).
Tighten the 2 screws for the mounting for the base of the door mirror. Tighten to 10 Nm.
Viewed from the side, the side window and the base of the door mirror must be in line with each other.
If necessary, fold the base of the door mirror forwards or backwards by removing the washer below the rear screw or by adding a washer in the same place.
Final requirements for the base of the door mirror
Clearance (1) = 3.4 - 6.4 mm
Parallel alignment between the base of the door mirror and the fender = 1 mm, measured between 2 points (2).
Level/flush (3) = 0.2 - 1.7 mm. The base of the door mirror must be inside the fender.
Step 2
Adjusting the front power window lift mechanism cassette
Conditions:
- in order to achieve a seal against the A-post, the base of the door mirror and the side window must be pressed into the sealing bubble in the molding
- the clearance between the base of the door mirror and the front fender must correspond. See Final requirements for the base of the door mirror
- the clearance to the convertible top seals must correspond. See Step 6.
OK? See Step 3.
Not OK? See the following point.
The power window lift mechanism cassette can be moved forwards and backwards, as well as up and down.
Note! Mark up the position on the power window lift mechanism cassette. In this way the starting position is ensured so that direction and distance are clear when making the adjustment.
Slacken off the screw and nut joints (1).
Note! Counterhold using a torx screwdriver for the adjustment screw. Use an angled wrench for the nut.
Remove:
- the torx screw at the rear edge of the cassette (2)
- the 4 screws for the inner door opener (3).
Grasp the cassette member. Move the cassette member in the desired direction.
Note! When the front screws have been removed, the integral turning/twisting has reverted. New turning/twisting may be required. See Step 3.
Tighten the screwed joints to the correct tightening torque in the following order.
To the upper part of the cassette, tighten:
- one front upper screw. Tighten to 25 Nm
- one rear upper screw. Tighten to 25 Nm
- one rear lower screw. Tighten to 25 Nm
- one front lower screw. Tighten to 25 Nm
- one screw for the tolerance compensator. Tighten to 25 Nm
- one torx screw. Tighten to 6 Nm.
Note! Apply locking fluid to the torx screw.
To the inner door opener, tighten:
- the 4 screws. Tighten to 10 Nm.
To the lower part of the cassette, tighten:
- one front nut. Tighten to 25 Nm
- one rear nut. Tighten to 25 Nm.
Note! Apply locking fluid to the screws for the nuts in the lower part of the cassette.
When the operation has been completed, see Step 3.
Step 3
Turning/twisting front side door
Conditions:
- the requirements for level/flush at the rear edge of the door must be satisfied. See Final requirements for turning/twisting.
OK? See Step 4.
Not OK? See the following point.
Slacken off the screws at the front edge of the door in numerical order, as illustrated.
Grasp the door as illustrated.
Hold the door in the required position. At the same time, tighten the screwed joints. Tighten to
25 Nm in the same order as when the screws were slackened off, see previous illustration.
Hint: This operation is easier with 2 people.
Turning/twisting in the other direction may also be required.
Grasp the door as illustrated.
Hold the door in the required position. At the same time, tighten the screwed joints. Tighten to
25 Nm in the same order as when the screws were slackened off, see previous illustration.
Hint: This operation is easier with 2 people.
Final requirements for turning/twisting
Note! Some requirements for level/flush are specified with a minus sign in front. Minus means outwards, i.e. the rear edge of the door side must be slightly outside the body line.
Clearance (1) = 3.5 -6.5 mm
Level/flush (1) = -0.2 to -1.70 mm
Parallel alignment at the rear edge = 1.0 mm. The clearance must be 1 mm, measured between 2 points (2).
Clearance (3) = 3.3 -6.3 mm
Level/flush (3) = -0.4 to -1.9 mm
The above measurement for level/flush applies when the side window and door are closed.
Consider that the measure for level/flush changes when the window is open or has been adjusted.
When the operation has been completed, see Step 4.
Step 4
Centering lock facing in door lock
Conditions:
- the door lock facing must be in the middle of the door lock when closing.
OK? See Step 5.
Not OK? See the following point.
If the facing is too high, the door must be shimmed at the lower hinge. Add shims.
If the facing is too low, shims must be removed at the lower hinge.
When adjusting shims, unscrew the screws halfway. Lift the rear edge of the door at the same time as inserting or removing shims.
Warning! The shims have sharp edges.
Follow the color marking on the door to locate it in the same position again.
Tighten the screws for the door hinge. Tighten to 25 Nm.
Note! Check the dimensions for level/flush at the lower edge between the door and the front fender after adjusting the shims. See (6) and (7) in Final check.
When the operation has been completed, see Step 5.
Step 5
Adjusting the pre-tension of the side window
Slacken off the nut and screw the adjustment screw clockwise (1). The window is then angled outwards (1) and is slightly higher. This leads to a reduction in pressure.
Slacken off the nut and screw the adjustment screw counter-clockwise (2). The window is then angled inwards (2) and is slightly lower. This leads to an increase in pressure.
Also see Window front side door, adjusting Window Front Side Door, Adjusting.
Note! Check that the rear lift mechanism carriage is at least 2 mm from the reinforcement member.
When the operation has been completed, see Step 6.
Step 6
Adjusting clearance between side window and convertible top seals
Conditions:
- to prevent the side window catching the seal when the door is closed, there must be a clearance of 1 mm between the window and the drip molding on the convertible top
- check extra carefully that the window does not catch the corner of the header seal.
OK? See Final check.
Not OK? See the following point.
The header seal may be "trimmed", if necessary. Cut away approximately 1 mm of the 3 upper cm on the seal. Use a sharp knife.
If the approved clearance cannot be achieved, adjust as follows:
Adjust the pre-tension of the side window. See Step 5.
Raise or lower the entire power window lift mechanism cassette so that the window is located in the required position. See Step 2.
Note! On models equipped with the new glass clamp screw, there is another adjustment option. The position of the side window alone can be adjusted. See Window front side door, adjusting Window Front Side Door, Adjusting.
When the operation has been completed, see Final check.
