Front door 1. Door; 2. Door opening limiter; 3. Bolt 25 Nm; 4. Cover. Place on the mounting pin; 5. Dowel pin. 30 Nm; 6. Upper Door Hinge; 7/9. Bolt. 32 Nm; 8. Bolt. 45 Nm. The bolt is a so-called centering bolt, so adjusting the door with this bolt is usually not required. If adjustment with these bolts is necessary, they can be replaced with 1 of the same length and strength; 10. Lower door hinge
Removal the door
Disconnect the plug connector to the A-pillar. Unscrew bolt "2" of the door opening limiter. Remove caps "1" and "3" from the mounting pins. Unscrew the mounting pins "4" from the upper and lower hinges.

Adjusting the door position
The "min" and "max" marks are used to check the lateral adjustment. The notch in the center of the template is used to adjust the height. The 0.4 mm offset is used to check the distance of the front door to the fender or the rear door to the front door. The 0.6 mm offset is used to check the distance of the "B" pillar panels from the rear door to the front door.
Gap sizes
All dimensions are given in "mm". All dimensional tolerances are + 0.5 mm. The parallelism of the joint should not exceed 0.5 mm.
Size F = 3.5 mm. Size H = 4.5 mm. Size I = 3.5 mm
Driver's side: Remove the driver's side dash trim. Remove the lower A-pillar trim. Remove the driver's side relay board mount.
Front passenger side: Remove the glove box.
All
Remove the A-pillar connector.
Longitudinal adjustment
Loosen the bolts "arrows B" at the top and bottom of the hinge and on the pillar A "pos. 1". Align the door "2" in the longitudinal direction. Tighten the screws "arrows B". The hinge bolts on the door side are centering bolts, so adjusting the door with these bolts is usually not required. If adjustment with these bolts is necessary, they can be replaced with bolts of the same length and strength. Use the template "T40038/9" for adjustment.
Install the template at a distance of "a" = 150 mm. When adjusted correctly, the template should fit against the roof and the decorative strip at "point 1" (arrows), as shown in the figure. At "point 2" the lower side of the glass guide should be inside the groove.
Adjustment relative to the center of the car
Use template "T40038/9" for adjustment. Set the template at distance "a" = 150. Unscrew bolts "arrows A" at the top and bottom of the hinge. Align door "2" in the longitudinal direction. Tighten screws "arrows A". For position "min", "points "1" and "3" should be adjacent. There should be no gap at "point "2". For position "max", "points "2" and "3" should be adjacent. There should be no gap at "point "1".
Adjustment with the lock bracket
Loosen bolts "2". Move lock bracket "1" so that the door is flush with the body contour. Adjustment using the lock bracket is performed only relative to the center of the car. Do not adjust the door height using the lock bracket, as this will damage the door lock. Loosen bolts "2". Move lock bracket "1" so that the door is flush with the body contour. When adjusted correctly, the lock bracket should enter the door lock at the center. Tighten bolts "2".
