Rear Door: Adjustment

HINT:

• Installation is in the reverse order of removal. But when there is a special point concerning installation, it is indicated.
• In the RH side, work in the same procedure as in the LH side.

HINT:

Since the centering bolt is used as a door hinge set bolt, the door can not be adjusted with it on. Substituting a bolt with washer for the centering bolt will allow for adjustment of the hood hinges and hood lock.
