Adjusting left or right front door
Note:
Doors are fitted and bolted to an unfinished body shell.
Moving the hinges later on makes unpainted surfaces
visible. These surfaces must be touched up with paint in
the body color.
Note:
These adjusting instructions generally apply to all body
variations such as Saloon/Sedan, Coupé, Compact, Touring,
Cabrio/Convertible.
On 4-door models, it is important to align the rear doors first.
The reason for this is that the rear doors must be aligned to
the welded rear side walls.
The front doors must then be aligned to the rear doors.
The bolted front side walls can then be adapted if necessary
to the front doors.
On 2-door models, the doors are aligned to the welded rear side
walls.
The bolted front side walls can then be adapted if necessary to the
doors.
The illustrations therefore do not always correspond to the type of
vehicle selected in the TIS.
The illustrations are therefore to be viewed as basic illustrations
which are to be carried over to the relevant vehicle type.
