36 GETTING TO KNOW YOUR VEHICLE
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.
To adjust the seal compression, proceed as follows:
1. Open the door and lift the upper half-door up and
away from the lower half. Lay the upper half-door on
a clean, dry surface.
2. Using an 8 mm open-end wrench (not provided),
loosen the nut located inside the bottom of the upper
half-door post, closest to where the “paper test”
detected a gap.

3. Using a 3 mm Allen wrench (not provided), rotate the
screw on the side of the post counterclockwise (while
holding the wrench on the loosened bolt) to increase
the seal compression. If needed, rotate clockwise to
reduce seal compression.

4. Tighten the nut inside the bottom of the post using
the wrench and make sure the screw head is flush to
the post. Reinstall the upper half-door.
