DOOR (Continued)
CAUTION: Since the rear doors are components
with static functions it is very important that they
are fastened while driving. This prevents excessive
torsion of the vehicle and leaky rear doors. The rear
doors are fastened by adjusting the closing
wedges.

of play on plastic closing plates when rear doors are
closed. To adjust, loosen door hinges and raise or
lower complete doors.
(10) Loosen upper closing wedge screws and move
top closing wedge up against plastic closing plate free
of play with rear door closed and tighten screws to 10
N·m (89 in. lbs.).
(11) Check and adjust the hinges. On rear doors,
the retaining magnets should run up to the middle of
the mating plate at the side wall. If this is not the
case, correct as listed. (Fig. 11)
