Door Adjustments
Door dovetail (male) (A), Fig-
ure 63, is adjustable to center the
door properly at the top and bottom.
To adjust, loosen male dovetail
screws (B) and move up or down
as necessary so that dovetail lifts the
door 1/16" as it enters the female
member of the dovetail (E) set in the
lock pillar post as the door is
closed. Tighten screws securely.
The front edge of the rear door
should he set slightly inside of the
rear edge of the front door to prevent
wind noise at high speed.
If adjustment is necessary, loosen the
bumper fastening screw (C), Fig-
ure 6.i, set in the lock pillar post and
move the bumper in or out as neces-
sary to permit the door to close to
the proper position. Tighten screws
securely.
Door striker plates (D), Figure
63, arc adjustable to secure proper
in and out regulation of the door
position.
Should it be necessary to close the door violently to latch it, or the latch does
not hold the door snugly against the bumpers and weatherseal, loosen the striker
plate screws in the pillar post, being careful not to remove them, as the tapping
plates inside the pillar post will fall out of position, and move the striker
plate in or out, as necessary, and tighten the screws securely.
All doors are provided with strong steel check rods, imbedded in rubber at
the ends, to control the swing of the doors.
