Sliding Door Position Adjustment (cont'd)
8. Loosen the striker screws.
9. Adjust the striker (A) in or out to make the rear of
the door overhang the rear panel about 0.5 mm
(0.02 in.) (but not more than 1 mm (0.04 in.)). Then
adjust the striker up or down to center it in the latch
when the door closes. When you're finished with
this adjustment, torque the striker screws to 18 N·m
(1.8 kgf·m, 13 lbf·ft).
NOTE: Make sure the striker is level after your
adjustments.
10. Close the sliding door, then check if it is flush with
the front door.
• If the sliding door is flush, go to step 12.
• If the sliding door is not flush, go to step 11.

Front and rear doors should be flush.
11. Loosen the upper roller bolts, then add or remove
shims under the upper roller to make the sliding
door flush with the body and the front door. Do not
shim the door more than 3 mm. When you're
finished with this adjustment, torque the upper
roller bolts.
NOTE: Adding or removing shims will change door
flushness only at the upper front corner.

12. Open the front door on the side you're working on.
13. Check the tightness of the sliding door by
vigorously pulling in and out on the leading edge,
about 1/3 of the way up from the bottom. The door
should fit tightly against the seals. Also inspect the
top to bottom position at the front of the sliding
door, using the center body line as a reference to
the front door.
• If the door does not fit tightly, go to step 14.
• If the door fits tightly, go to step 15.
