3.	Carefully move the rear door window glass (A) until the glass mounting bolt are visible, then loosen them.

Door Striker Adjustment

•	Make sure that the door latches securely without slamming it. If necessary, adjust the striker (A) by moving it up and down or in and out before fixing the striker nuts.

Loosen the screws (B) just enough for the striker to move.

Tightening torque :

(B) : 16.7 ~ 21.6 N.m (1.7 ~ 2.2 kgf.m, 12.3 ~ 15.9 lb-ft)

2.	Lightly tap on the striker with a plastic hammer just enough to give some adjustment.

3.	Hold the outer handle out, and push the door against the body to be sure the striker allows a flush fit. If the door latches properly, tighten the screws and recheck.

Door Position Adjustment

•	After installing the door, check for a flush fit with the adjacent body panels, 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. Before adjusting, replace the mounting bolts.

1.	Check that the door and body edges are parallel.

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

Adjust at the hinges (A):

•	Loosen the door mounting bolts slightly, and move the door in or out until it aligns flush with the body.

•	Loosen the hinge mounting bolts slightly, and move the door backward or forward, up or down as necessary to equalize the gaps.

•	Place a shop towel on the jack to prevent damage to the door when adjusting the door.
