Adjustment

Factory installed hinges are welded in place, so no adjustment of the system is necessary or recommended.

The 1/2 in. (13mm) drill hinge holes provide for some adjustment.

1. Loosen, adjust, then tighten the hinge-to-door/body pillar bolts; close the door, then check the door gap, it should be 4-6mm between the door and the door frame.

2. With the door closed, it should be flush, plus or minus 1.0mm, with the body; if not, enlarge the striker hole.

The original door hinges are welded in place, and adjustment is not recommended. However, with service bolt-on hinges, adjustment is possible.

1. Loosen the door striker.

2. Adjust the left door first and then the right.

3. Adjust the left door so that there is a 5.0mm gap between the door and the door frame at the top, bottom and side of the door.

4. Adjust the right door so that there is a 5.0mm gap between the door and the door frame at the top, bottom and side of the door.

Although the sliding door is designed without any adjustment provisions, it is possible to rework certain portions of the system.

• Using the rear striker, at the center rear of the door, adjust the height and flushness.

• Using the lower roller bracket, adjust the parallel gap at the base of the door.

• To obtain flushness and vertical support, at the front of the door, adjust the door locator pins and sockets.

• To obtain proper gap and a level swing-in, at the rear of the door, adjust the center roller track fore and aft.

• Using Lubriplate® or equivalent, lubricate the roller track contact surfaces.

1. To obtain the height (up/down) and the flushness (in/out) movements, between the door and the rear quarter panel, enlarge the rear striker hole.

When making the rear striker adjustments, DO NOT bend the striker to obtain the adjustment.

2. To obtain a parallel gap between the base of the door and the rocker panel, loosen the lower roller bracket bolts. Check and/or adjust the gap between the quarter panel and the door; the gap should be parallel from the window area down to the rocker panel. Tighten the lower bracket mounting bolts to 20 ft. lbs. (27 Nm).

To obtain the parallel adjustment, the upper bracket hole may have to be enlarged; enlarging the hole may mean that the feature alignment of the door may have to be compromised.

3. To obtain flushness between the door and the rocker panel, adjust the lower locating pin so that its surface is in contact with the outer edges of the locator guide. If you are having trouble obtaining the flushness, perform the following procedures:

1. Using a rubber hammer, strike the locator pin (while in position) to bend the sheet metal slightly.

2. Using a portable grinder, remove some of the material from the top or bottom of the locator guide; DO NOT remove too much material that a hole is ground through the guide.

3. Readjust the door height at the lower roller bracket.

3. Adjust the upper locator pin until it is flush with the locator guide; the locator should rub the outer edge of the locator guide. If you are having trouble obtaining the adjustment, perform the following procedures:

1. Using a rubber hammer, strike the locator pin (while in position) to bend the sheet metal slightly.

2. Using a portable grinder, remove some of the material from the top or bottom of the locator guide; DO NOT remove too much material that a hole is ground through the guide.

3. To obtain equal gaps between the door, the quarter panel and the door pillar, perform the following procedures:

1. For access to the center roller track, remove the right rear tail light bezel, the interior trim from around the track and the track cover.

2. Inspect the track rollers; the bottom rollers should ride on the track base and the side roller should ride on the outer flange of the track.

3. Loosen the track fasteners and slide the track rearward until it comes in contact the center rollers, then center the door in the opening. Tighten the track fasteners by starting with the one closest to the rear door striker.

4. Loosen the forward track fastener, then push the track up or down until the rear latch rolls onto the striker in a level position; if necessary, elongate the hole.

5. Install the track cover, the interior trim and the rear tail light bezel.

3. Adjust the upper roller bracket so that the roller runs in the middle of the track; it must not touch the upper or lower edge of the track. If necessary physically adjust it, remove it from the bracket and bend it at its base.

The following procedure requires the use of an 1/8 in. (3mm) drill bit, 1/2 in. (13mm) drill bit, a center punch, a cold chisel, a portable body grinder, a putty knife, and a scribing tool.

1. Refer to the Sliding Door, Removal and Installation procedures in this section and remove the sliding door, then place the door on a padded workbench.

2. Using a putty knife, remove the sealant from around the edge of the bracket.

3. Using a scribing tool, outline the position of the bracket on the door.

4. Using a center punch, mark the center position of the bracket base welds.

5. Using a 1/8 in. (3mm) bit, drill a pilot hole completely through each weld.

When drilling the holes through the bracket welds, DO NOT drill through the door.

6. Using a 1/2 in. (13mm) bit, drill a hole through the bracket base, following the 1/8 in. (3mm) pilot hole.

7. Using a cold chisel and a hammer, separate the bracket from the door. Using a portable grinder, clean off any welds remaining on the door.

8. To fasten the replacement bracket to the door, perform the following procedures:

1. Align the replacement bracket, with the scribe lines, previously made.

2. Using a center punch and the new bracket as a template, mark the location of each bolt hole.

3. Using a 1/2 in. (13mm) bit, drill holes (using the center marks) through the door.

6. To install, use medium body sealant and apply it to the bracket-to-door surface, the bracket-to-door bolts and tapped anchor plate. Tighten the bracket-to-door bolts to 20 ft. lbs. (27 Nm). Apply paint to the bracket and the surrounding area. Adjust the sliding door-to-body gap, if necessary.
