To correctly align the doors, adjust the hinges and the door latch striker plates. Adjusting the hinge affects the positioning of the outside surface of

characteristics.

If the door will not align correctly, carry out an underbody misalignment check.

The door should be adjusted for even and parallel fit with the body opening and the surrounding panels.

Check the front door hinge adjustment before adjusting the front door hinge.
