Other measures such as raising the door have no effect. Subse‐
quent pressure from above will cause the door to sack again.
In order to adjust for flushness, bolts -2, 4 and 11- must be loos‐
ened.
To do this, use door alignment tool - 3320- with bit - 3320/3- .

1.5.1 Adjusting striker pin
Note
♦
The adjustment is described only for the right front door. The
adjustment of the left front door is similar.
♦
The front door must lock fully when closing without any addi‐
tional force being required and must not have any play.
♦
The front door must not be pushed up or down as a result of
the striker pin adjustment.
The following can be adjusted at the striker pin:
• When the front door does not align with the rear door.
– Loosen striker pin -1- by loosening bolts -2- on B-pillar.
– Adjust the front door with the striker pin -1- so that the front
door is flush with the rear door when shut (to prevent wind
noise).
– Tighten bolts -2- of striker pin -1-.
– Specified torque for bolts -2-: 20 Nm.
