9. Push down firmly on the inside of the upper half-
door until it is fully seated in the lower half.
Door Latch Alignment
CAUTION!
Upon first installation of the half-doors, slowly set the
door almost to the closing position and check how
the door latch aligns with the body striker. Touch con-
dition between these components can result in dam-
age to both the door and the striker.
NOTE:
Only adjust the door to fit correctly against the striker.
DO NOT adjust the striker, as this could affect the posi-
tioning of the full door.
If the door does not center align between the latch and
the striker, proceed as follows:
1. Loosen (do not remove) the four bolts on the door
hinges using the provided #T50 Torx head driver.
2.
With the bolts loose, hold the door in the almost
closed position, and check that the latch and striker
align.
3.
With the latch and striker aligned, proceed to close the
door softly and tighten the hinge bolts to 20.3 ft· lb /
27.5 N·m (Max Torque: 27.3 ft· lb / 37 N·m).
Lower Door Adjustment
CAUTION!
Upon first installation of the half-doors, slowly close
each door to check for body contact. Improper setting of
the door hinges can cause extreme non-uniform condi-
tions, and result in damage to the body around the door.
If the door does not latch properly after installation, if
there is interference between the panels, or if a non-
uniform gap around the door is observed when the door
is closed (example: door position appears to be low and
too far rearward), the position of the door on its hinges
may need to be adjusted. To do this, proceed as follows:
1. Loosen (do not remove) the four bolts on the door
hinges using the provided #T50 Torx head driver.
