Install Doors on Vehicle
Install Paddle Handle on Door
The doors in this prod-
uct are designed only
for protection against
the elements. Do not rely on the doors to contain
occupants within the vehicle or to protect against
injury during an accident. Door handles are only
designed to aid in door closure. Door and handle
will not support a person's weight.
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.

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.
Close the door and check all sides to make sure
that the door fi ts properly against the body. If
necessary, the door may be bent slightly to fi t the
contour of the vehicle body.
