Adjusting striker pin
  Note
t  Only the adjustment for the right front door is described. The adjustment of the left front door is similar.
t  The front door must lock fully when closing without any additional force being required and must not have any play.
t  The front door must not be pushed up or down as a result of the striker pin adjustment.
The following can be adjusted at the striker pin:
l  When the front door does not align with the rear door.
   
–  Loosen striker pin -1- by loosening bolts -2- on A-pillar.
–  Adjust the front door with the striker pin -1- so that the front door is flush with the rear door when shut (to prevent wind noise).
–  Tighten bolts -2- of striker pin -1-.
