Door Installation - 51443 ONLY
Step One
Fold the fabric back and insert the Paddle Handle into the Paddle
Handle Mount on the rear lower part of each door frame. Make
sure that the latch is toward the rear of the door.
Use four #10-24 x 3/8 Truss Head Machine
Screws and four #10-24 Locknuts to secure
each Paddle Handle in place. Do not fully
tighten the screws at this point because they
may have to be moved during the door
adjustment.
Step Two
Check that the hinge pins, welded to the door frames, are aligned
along the same axis. Sight along the hinge pin axis or lay a straight
edge against them. If they have been bent in handling, they must be
straightened before the doors are hung on the vehicle. If necessary, use
a 9/16 inch box wrench to gently bend the pin into the proper position.
Oil the pins with a light weight oil. Install the doors by holding
them straight out from the vehicle with the door pins over the
body hinge. Lower the pins into the hinge. Swing the door
back and forth until the pins are fully inserted into the
body hinge. When the pins are properly adjusted,
the doors should slip easily into the body
hinges without forcing them.
Step Three
Close the door and check all sides to make
sure that the door fits properly against the body.
If necessary, the door may be bent slightly to fit the
contour of the vehicle body.
