Front Door: Adjustments

Door Position Adjustment

NOTE: 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 door.




2. Adjust at the hinges (A):
- Remove the front inner fender and front fender fairing. Loosen the hinge mounting bolts (B) slightly, and move the door backward or forward, up or down as necessary to equalize the gaps.
- Place a shop towel (C) on the jack (D) to prevent damage to the door when adjusting the door.




3. Check that the door and body edges are parallel. If necessary, adjust the door cushions (A) to make the rear of the door flush with the body.
4. Apply body paint to the hinge mounting bolts and around the hinges.
5. Check for water leaks (see step 7 of Door Glass Adjustment).
6. Test-drive and check for wind noise.
