In order to adjust flushness correctly, the bolts -3- must be loos‐
ened.

to sack again.

Adjusting striker pin
Note
♦
Only the adjustment for the right front door is described. The
adjustment of the left front door is similar.
♦
The door must lock fully when closing without any additional
force being required and must not have any play.
♦
The door must not be pushed up or down due to striker pin
adjustment.
The striker pin can be used to make sure that the rear door is
aligned flush with the front door (wind noises).
Carry out following work:
– Loosen striker pin -1- by loosening bolts -2- in C-pillar.
– Adjust the front door with the striker pin -1- so that the front
door is flush with the side panel when shut (to prevent wind
noise).
– Tighten bolts -2- of striker pin -1-.
Specified torque for bolts -2-: 20 Nm.
