ADJUSTMENTS
Note. For vehicles with four doors, it is recommended that you adjust the rear door before adjusting the front door. (Refer to DOORS - REAR ) Door adjustment measurements should be taken from stationary or welded body panels like the roof, rocker or quarter panels. During adjustment procedures, it is recommended that all the hinge fasteners be loosened except for the upper most fasteners. Adjustments can be made using the upper bolts to hold the door with final torque of the fasteners occurring after correct door positioning is achieved. A suitable body sealant should be used when removing or moving the hinges.
