Rear door
Adjusting door

To ensure a correct door adjustment the door hinges on the pillar must be loosened. Other measures such as raising the door upwards have no effect. Overpressuring thereafter will again cause the door to sack.

Adjustment wrench 3320 combined with Torx bit T45 for loosening securing screws on door hinge, B-pillar.

Adjusting

  • ● The doors are correctly adjusted if the clearance to the door opening when closed is even all round, does not project too much to the inside or outside and the contours align.

Loosen door hinges at the B pillar: To do this the lower B pillar trim and the belt inertia reel must be removed.

Note:

Observe the safety regulations for seat belts with belt tensioner on Page 69-1.
