GETTING TO KNOW YOUR VEHICLE 35
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
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).
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.
