NOTE: Check for a flush fit with the body, then check for equal gaps between the front, rear, and bottom door edges and the body. Check that the door and body edges are parallel.

  1. Place the vehicle on a firm level surface when adjusting the doors.

    • Pad a floor jack (B) with shop towels (C), then use the jack to support the door while adjusting it.

    • On the front door:   Remove the front inner fender.   Loosen the hinge mounting bolts (D) slightly, and move the door backward or forward, up or down as necessary to equalize the gaps.

    • On the rear door: Loosen the hinge mounting bolts (E) slightly, and move the door backward or forward, up or down as necessary to equalize the gaps.
