Check: Back Door
1. Check the gaps in the rear door mating. The gaps should be uniform along the entire perimeter of the mating to the body.
- A — 4.5±0.5 mm
- B — 3.5±0.5 mm
- C — 0±1.0 mm
Warning: The rear door must be adjusted.
Adjustment
1. Loosen the lock retainer mounting screws.
2. Adjusting the door in the longitudinal direction: Loosen the screws securing the hinges (arrows A) to the A-pillar (3) (rear door: pillar (B) so that the door (2) with the hinges (1) can move in the grooves.
Warning: Some mounting screws are only accessible from the inside by first removing the lower trim on the A or B pillar. The accompanying illustration shows the lower hinge with the door closed.
3. Adjusting the door in the longitudinal direction: Adjust the door in accordance with the specified gaps and tighten the hinge mounting screws to the torque 32Nm.
4. Adjusting the door laterally, step 1: Loosen the hinge mounting screws (arrows B) so that the door (2) can be moved with the hinges in the grooves. Adjust the door so that its outline is flush with the adjacent body elements. This applies primarily to the front of the door. At the rear, the door is adjusted using the lock retainer. Tighten the hinge mounting screws to the torque 32Nm.
5. Adjusting the door in the transverse direction, 2nd step: In the rear part of the door, adjustment is carried out using the lock retainer (1).
Warning: Tags (a/c arrows) used for lateral adjustment, marks (b/d arrows) for height adjustment.
6. Loosen the screws (2) and move the lock retainer. Adjust the retainer so that the door stands slightly outward.
7. Carefully close the door so that it is flush with the adjacent body elements and the lock retainer fits correctly into the lock.
8. Tighten the lock retainer mounting screws to torque 25 Nm.
