Removing Front Door - Volvo P 120 Service Manual

P 120
Fig. 14.
When the bonnet is closed, the U-shaped catch
should meet the safety catch as close to the top as
possible, but not so high as to cause the hook
to be pushed forwards, measurement C, Fig. 12.
A small adjustment of 1-2 mm (0.04-0.08") can
be made by bending the safety catch. If a larger
adjustment is found to be necessary, this means
that the whole locking device has been displaced.
I n this case the complete bonnet lock must be reset.
The late production lock, with effect from chassis
number about 10000, is illustrated in Fig. 13.
The lock can be adjusted laterally and longitudinal-
l y since the holes in the front section are larger than
the diameter of the attaching screws. The length
of the latch is adjustable by means of nuts. The
l atch and spring are lubricated with grease.
DOORS

Removing front door

1. Remove the door check, see Fig. 14. The
attaching bolts for this are accessible after
the side insulation material on the body has
been removed. The door check can also be
removed by unscrewing the guide roller and
pulling it off. In order to get at the guide
roller, the door upholstery must be removed
see under "Removing the door handle and
upholstery".
2. Unscrew the four countersunk screws which
hold the door to the upper and lower hinges.
The door sealing strip must be moved in order
to get at the hinge screws. This is done by
releasing the two plates over the hinges
to which the strip is glued and carefully pulling
to one side, see Fig. 15. When doing this,
make sure that the rubber strip does not come
away from the plate or door.

Fitting the door is done in the reverse order
to removing. Since the holes in the door are
l arger than the diameter of the bolt, and the
nut plates are movable, the hinge attachment
can be adjusted both vertically and laterally.
The door is adjusted longitudinally at the
hinge attachments in the body.
Removing rear door
(See also under "Removing front door")
