STEP 11: Fender Alignment
11.1
Ensure the lower rear panel is centered under the upper rear panel. If necessary, loosen the latches at
the top of the lower rear panel and shift the lower rear panel left or right.
11.2
Loosen the (2)
5/16”
nuts at the rear of each fender panel and shift the rear of the fender panel left or
right to align the outer surface to the bottom of the lower rear panel (see Figure 11.2). Tighten the
5/16”
nuts snug.
STEP 12: Rear Door Installation.
12.1
Install a total of (4) Brass Washers onto the weld
-
on
hinge pins on the B
-
Pillars, one washer per pin (see
Figure 12.1).
12.2
Apply Grease to the Hinge Pins on the B
-
pillars.
12.3
Holding the door perpendicular to the vehicle, lower
the door hinge sleeves over the pins on the vehicle
(see Figure 12.1).
NOTE: If the hinge sleeves don
’
t line up with the hinge
pins, loosen factory installed door hinges until
fasteners are finger tight, then repeat this step,
aligning the sleeves to the pins, as necessary.
12.4
Rotate the door open and closed until the hinge
sleeves seat properly on the brass washers. It may
be necessary to manipulate the angle of the hinges
by hand to get them to fully seat on the brass
washers.
12.5
Gently close the door, lifting on the door handle if
necessary, to allow the latches to lock around the
striker pins. Ensure that you have heard (2) clicks of
both latches.
NOTE: The rear doors have two latches, one at each rear
corner of the door.
