Door Latch Alignment
Check Door Latch And Striker Alignment
NOTE:
Only adjust the door to fit correctly against the
striker. DO NOT adjust the striker, as this could
affect the positioning of the full door.
If the door does not center align between the latch
and the striker, 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
2. With the bolts loose, hold the door in the
almost closing position, and check that the
latch and striker align.
3. With the latch and striker aligned, proceed
to close the door softly and tighten the
hinge bolts to 20.3 ft· lb / 27.5 N·m
(Max Torque: 27.3 ft· lb / 37 N·m).
Lower Door Adjustment
CAUTION!
Upon first installation of the half-doors, slowly
set the door almost to the closing position and
check how the door latch aligns with the body
striker. Touch condition between these
components can result in damage to both the
door and the striker.
CAUTION!
Upon first installation of the half-doors, slowly
close each door to check for body contact.
Improper setting of the door hinges can cause
extreme non-uniform conditions, and result in
damage to the body around the door.
