ADJUSTMENT
NOTE: For vehicles equipped with four doors, it is
recommended that you adjust the rear door before
adjusting the front door.
²Door adjustment measurements should be
taken from stationary or welded body panels like
the roof, rocker or quarter panels.
²During adjustment procedures, it is recom-
mended that all the hinge fasteners be loosened
except for the upper most fasteners. Adjustments
can be made using the upper fasteners to hold the
door with final torque of the fasteners occurring
after correct door positioning is achieved.
