t  Setting gauge -3371-

t  Template -T40038 /8- t  The »min and max« markings are used to check the side adjustment. t  The groove in the middle of the template is used to check the height. t  The 0.4 mm graduation is used to check the underhang of the front door relative to the wing, and of the rear door to the front door. t  The 0.6 mm graduation is used to check the underhang of the trim panels on the B-pillar from the rear door to the front door. Gap widths

t	All dimensions are given in »mm«.

t	All tolerance ranges for the dimensions are ± 0.5 mm.

t	The sides of the gap must be parallel (variation not more than 0.5 mm).

t	Dimension G = 5.5 mm

t	Dimension H = 4.5 mm

t	Dimension I = 3.5 mm

–  Remove B-pillar trim → Rep. gr.70. –  Remove connector point at B-pillar → Rep. gr.97.

Longitudinal adjustment –  Unscrew bolts -arrows B- at top and bottom of hinge and on A-pillar -item 1-. –  Adjust door -2- lengthwise. –  Tighten bolts -arrows B-. l  Tightening torque → Item Height adjustment   Note t  The hinge bolts → Item on the door are fitted bolts; therefore it is usually not necessary to adjust the door via these bolts. t  If it does become necessary to make an adjustment via these bolts, the bolts can be replaced with bolts of the same length and property class. –  Use template -T40038 /8- for adjustment.

–  Position template at distance -a- = 150 mm and -b- = 50 mm. –  If adjustment is correct, template must make contact with roof and trim strip at »point 1« (arrows), as shown. –  At »point 2« underside of window guide must be inside groove. Adjusting the door inwards/outwards –  Slacken bolts -arrows A- at hinge (top and bottom) → Anchor. –  Adjust door -2- lengthwise. –  Tighten bolts -arrows A-. –  Use template -T40038 /8- to check adjustment.

–  Position template at distance -a- = 150 mm and -b- = 50 mm. –  For »min« position »points -1- and -3-« must be making contact. –  »Point -2-« may show a gap. –  For »max« position »points -2- and -3-« must be making contact. –  »Point -1-« may show a gap. l  Tightening torque → Item

Adjustment via striker   Note t  The striker is only to be used for adjustment towards the centre of the vehicle. t  Do not adjust the height of the door via the striker; otherwise the door lock will be damaged. –  Loosen bolts -2-. –  Move striker -1- until door is flush with body contour. –  If adjustment is correct, striker should engage centrally in door lock. –  Tighten bolts -2-.
