Tech Tips


  • Before adjusting the door position for vehicles equipped with side airbags and curtain shield airbags, be sure to disconnect the cable from the negative (-) battery terminal.

  • Use the same procedures for the RH side and LH side.

  • The procedures listed below are for the LH side.

  • Centering bolts are used to mount the door hinge to the vehicle body and door. The door cannot be adjusted with the centering bolts on. Substitute the centering bolts with standard bolts (with washers) when making adjustments.
