^
If the card slides easily at any location along the A-pillar, the sealing contact between the door is insufficient and requires adjustment. Proceed
to "DOOR ADJUSTMENT".
^
If there is consistent resistance, proceed to the "White Grease Test".
Note
^
The card test can only be used to evaluate the A-pillar sealing contact. Use the following "White Grease Test" to evaluate the rest of the
weather-strip.
White Grease Test
A.
Roll down windows and adequately cover all interior surfaces to prevent contact with grease.
B.
Thoroughly and evenly spray the sheet metal surface of the body that seals against the weather-strip on the door.
Note
^
It is recommended that you use KAR Products # 78620 "Multi-purpose white grease (aerosol spray)" or equivalent.
^
Do not spray the weather-strip.
C.
Using only the door handle, very gently close the door. This will prevent over-slam which could result in an inaccurate reading.
D.
Open the door and measure the width of the grease pattern that is left along the length of the weather-strip (check for any unevenness in width).
^
If 4 mm or more, sealing contact is adequate if door closing effort is acceptable. Clean grease from vehicle.
^
If 3 mm or less, sealing contact is insufficient. Clean grease from vehicle and proceed to "DOOR ADJUSTMENT".
Door Adjustment
The door should be adjusted to obtain the proper seal compression while maintaining proper door alignment. The hinges control the in/out location of the
door at the front as well as overall tip or tilt of the door when viewed from the front or rear. The door striker controls the in/out location of the door at
the rear latch.
Caution
^
Do not pry or force the door into alignment.
In addition to Workshop Manual procedures for door alignment, the following information tips are provided
