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 front door is
aligned flush with the rear door (wind noises).
Carry out following work:
– Loosen striker pin -1- by loosening bolts -2- in B-pillar.
– Adjust the front door with the striker pin -1- in such a way that
the front door is flush with the rear door when shut (to prevent
wind noise) -arrow a- and -arrow-.
Note
Increased force may have to be applied so that position of striker
pin -1- can be adjusted with bolts -2- loosened.
– Tighten bolts -2- of striker pin -1-.
Specified torque for bolts -2-: 20 Nm.
