Protege ES L4-2.0L DOHC (2001)
^
Adjusting one hinge at a time will prevent any extreme door movement. This is done by loosening the hinge bolts and moving the door
with a padded pry bar just enough to permit movement of the door.
^
Hinges should be adjusted first, followed by the striker.
^
Adjustment to the rear door(s), if applicable, may require adjustments to the front door and possibly to the front fender to maintain
alignment.
^
Door closing effort should be checked to ensure that it remains acceptable after adjustments are completed. If any doors are too difficult to
close, the seal compression may be excessive and adjustment will need to be repeated.
^
After completing adjustments, verify seal compression by using the "Card Test" and "White Grease Test".
