c. Adjustments
In or out or up and down adjustments are pro-
vided at door hinge pillar. Fore and aft adjust-
ments are provided at front body hinge pillar.
NOTE: After performing any door adjust-
ments on 57-67-29-39 styles, front door venti-
lator and window should be checked for proper
alignment with side roof rail weatherstrip and
adjusted as required. In addition, door lock to
striker engagement should be checked and ad-
justed if necessary.
1. For in and out or up and down adjustments,
loosen hinge to door pillar attaching bolts, Fig.
16-23. Adjust door as required and tighten bolts.
NOTE: When performing in and out adjust-
ments, adjust one hinge at a time so as not to
disturb up and down adjustment.
2. To adjust door fore or aft, loosen hinge to
body pillar attaching bolts, Fig. 16-23. Adjust
door as required and tighten bolts.
NOTE: One or more of the attaching bolts
are not accessible due to inadequate wrench
clearance. When fore and aft adjustments are
performed, therefore, recommended procedure
is to remove obstructing attaching bolt and per-
form adjustments with remaining three bolts.
After satisfactory adjustments have been made,
replace the previously removed bolt. Removal
of obstructing bolt and subsequent adjustments
can best be accomplished with a ratcheting
boxocket wrench.
2 1 . Front Door Weatherstrips
A new type of front door weatherstrip assembly
has been designed which incorporates nylon com-
ponent fasteners. These new fasteners take the
place of wire clips and attaching clip sealing
plugs used on rear door weatherstrip assemblies.
These fasteners are the same size at all locations
(3/16 inch diameter) and are available as a
service part.
A special tool, J-21104, Fig. 16-24, is designed
for removal of the new weatherstrip. If this tool
is not available, it can be fabricated from any
other comparable metal tool. When a removal tool
is fabricated, make sure all sharp edges or metal
burrs are removed so as not to damage weather-
strip or paint finish during its usage.
