GETTING TO KNOW YOUR VEHICLE 97
DOOR FRAME INSTALLATION
1. Install the front door frame first.
2. Ensure the windshield is in the “up” position.
Carefully place the front door frame in the rubber seal
at the top of the windshield, and line up the holes for
the Torx head fasteners (two for each door).
3. Swing the frame bracket around the side of the door
frame, and insert the fasteners from underneath.
Tighten with the #T40 Torx head driver until they are
snug, being careful not to cross-thread the fasteners
or overtighten. Refer to the following table for the
appropriate torque specifications for the door frame
fasteners.

4. Set the rear door frame pin into the hole on top of the
body side, just behind the rear door opening.
5. Carefully position the top of the door frame onto the
rear belt rail and the rear of the front door frame,
making sure the rubber seals lie flat. Ensure the seals
are installed correctly to avoid water leaks.
