Position Adjustment - Acura 3.5 RL Manual

Position Adjustment

NOTE: Place the vehicle on a firm, level surface when
adjusting the doors.
After installing the door, check for a flush fit with the
body, then check for equal gaps between the front, rear,
and bottom door edges and the body. The door and body
edges should also be parallel. Before adjusting, replace
the mounting bolts. Adjust at the hinges as shown.
CAUTION: Place a shop towel on the jack to prevent
damage to the door when loosening the door and hinge
mounting bolts for adjustment.
