ALIGNMENT OF HOOD LATCH AND STRIKER

1. Remove the headlight support panel cover (Refer to «FRONT BUMPER ASSEMBLY AND RADIATOR GRILLE»(ref-289387-S20120788892008063000000) ).
2. Loosen the hood latch mounting bolts but do not remove them. Move the hood latch up/down and left/right to align the hood level and adjust the hood striker engagement.
3. After the adjustment, tighten the hood latch mounting bolts to 9.0 ± 1.0 N.m (80 ± 9 in-lb).
4. Install the headlight support panel cover. (Refer to «FRONT BUMPER ASSEMBLY AND RADIATOR GRILLE»(ref-289387-S20120788892008063000000) .)

ADJUSTMENT OF HOOD HEIGHT

Turn the damper to the dimension shown in the figure to adjust the hood height. If the hood height is still not even, turn the damper again until the height is even. The damper height is altered by roughly 4 mm (0.16 inch) when the damper is rotated one full turn.

Note. If a rattling noise is heard due to the vibration of the hood when the vehicle is being driven, adjust the damper height until the damper is seated on the hood.

Use special tool MB990900 or MB991164 to loosen the hinge mounting bolts on the body side, and then adjust the clearance around the door so that it is uniform on all sides. Move the door to adjust until the clearance around the door is even.
2. When the door is not flush with the vehicle body surface. Loosen the door-side hinge mounting bolts. NOTE: The non-adjusting bolts have been installed as a factory setting. To adjust the levelling of the door, replace them with the adjusting bolts (MU001031). Move the door to adjust so that the door is flush with the vehicle body. Tighten the door-side door hinge mounting bolt to the specified torque. Tightening torque: 26 ± 6 N.m (19 ± 5 ft-lb)
3. If the door is stiff to lock and unlock: Adjustment using the striker (toward the inside of the vehicle and vertical direction) Install a temporary bolt instead of the striker mounting bolt, and use special tool MB990939 and a hammer to tap the bolt in the desired direction. Adjustment by using the striker (toward the outside of the vehicle) Use special tools MB990211 and MB990243 to pull the striker toward the outside of the vehicle.

DOOR WINDOW GLASS ADJUSTMENT

5. Raise the door window glass and loosen the channel guide mounting bolts to adjust tilting up/down of the glass.

GLASS SLIDING MECHANISM CHECK AND ADJUSTMENT

If the door window glass wrongly, automatically lowers while being raised, adjust or replace as follows

Scheme 18

1. Remove the door trim assembly (Refer to «DOOR TRIM»(ref-289397-S06344600972008063000000) ).
2. Remove waterproof film (Refer to «REMOVAL AND INSTALLATION»(ref-289409-S41113094452008063000000) ).
3. Remove the window regulator assembly from the door window glass, and then raise and lower the door window glass by hand to check the operation force.
4. If the door window glass does not move up and down smoothly, check and repair as follows: Check the installation condition of the runchannel. Straighten twist in the door sash. Check the installation condition of the lower sash.
5. If repair or adjustment is impossible, replace the door assembly.

Scheme 19

1. Place an approximately 10 mm (0.39 inch) thick wood chip as shown. Then, raise the window glass.
2. Check that the window lowers by about 150 mm (5.9 inches) when the window clamps the board. If this doesn't happen, do troubleshooting. Refer to «TROUBLE SYMPTOM CHART»(ref-289409-S16776400482008063000000) . NOTE: If the anti-trap function (safety mechanism) is activated consecutively three times or more, carry out the learning procedures of the power window fully closed position (Refer to «LEARNING PROCEDURES OF THE POWER WINDOW FULLY CLOSED POSITION < DRIVER'S SIDE >»(ref-289409-S24524489632008063000000) ).

SHIFTING CONDITIONS FOR THE FULLY CLOSED POSITION ADJUSTMENT MODE

1. When shifting to the forced fully closed position adjustment mode How to shift to the forced fully closed position adjustment mode Turn the ignition switch to the "ON" position. With the roof lid glass stopped (the position of the roof lid glass can be any position between fully opened and fully closed), press and hold the up switch for 10 seconds.
2. When the anti-trap function (safety mechanism) is activated consecutively five times
3. When the position information may be incorrect due to abnormal power supply during the sunroof operation

Note. When installing the sunroof assembly, or installing/replacing the sunroof motor assembly, operate the forced fully closed position adjustment mode to adjust the fully closed position.

HOW TO ADJUST THE FULLY CLOSED POSITION < FORCED FULLY CLOSED POSITION ADJUSTMENT MODE >

1. With the roof lid glass stopped (the position of the roof lid glass can be any position between fully opened and fully closed), press and hold the up switch. NOTE: If operating the up switch moves the sunroof normally, use the open switch to fully open the roof lid glass. After the roof lid glass stops, press and hold the up switch.
2. Use the up switch to set the roof lid glass to the tilt-up position. The roof lid glass activates for approximately 30 mm and stops automatically when the switch is pressed once. Repeat this operation until the tilt-up position is reached and hold there for 3 seconds so that the fully closed position learning is completed.
