GETTING TO KNOW YOUR VEHICLE 39
If the door does not latch properly after
installation, if there is interference between the
panels, or if a non-uniform gap around the door is
observed when the door is closed (example: door
position appears to be low and too far rearward),
the position of the door on its hinges may need to
be adjusted. To do this, proceed as follows:
1. Loosen (do not remove) the four bolts on the
door hinges using the provided #T50 Torx
head driver.
Hinge Bolt Locations
NOTE:
Do not adjust the body mounted hinges, or any part
of the door latch, as modifications to these parts
will affect installation of the full door.
2. With the bolts loose, the door can be moved
forward by pushing the door handle toward the
front of the vehicle, and/or upward by grabbing
the door handle and lifting towards the roof.
3. Once the gaps between the door and vehicle
body are uniform around the entire door,
tighten the door hinge bolts to 20.3 ft· lb /
27.5 N·m (Max Torque: 27.3 ft· lb / 37 N·m).
Upper Door Adjustment
After installation of the half-doors, if water leaks or
wind noise is observed, the seal of the upper
half-door to the door opening may need to be
adjusted.
To determine if the upper half-door needs to be
adjusted, proceed as follows:
1. Determine which door is affected.
2. Open the affected door and hold a dollar-size
piece of paper along the top of the door
opening against the vehicle near where the
leak/noise was observed. Make sure half of
the paper is above the area where the door
seal contacts the door opening, while the other
half is below.
3. Close the door on the paper, then pull the
paper upward. If the paper moves with little to
no effort, the upper half-door will need to be
adjusted in that area to increase seal
compression.
Performing A Paper Test
There is another optional test that can be
performed using a flashlight and the help of
another person.
One person should be inside the vehicle, and move
the flashlight around the periphery of the door
seal, shining outward. The other person should
stand outside of the vehicle and check for light
passing by the seal. If light is seen through the seal
area, the door will need to be adjusted.
