STEP 2: (KIT INSTALLATION
CONT'D)
2.5 See figures 2.5a & 2.5b. Loosen the door hinges to
allow for adjustment later. Hang the left door on
the hinges. While lifting up and forward on the
door handle, line up the door latch with the striker
pin and carefully attempt to latch. You should be
able to hear 2 clicks as you slowly engage the latch
on the pin. If the latch is too far forward or back to
latch on the pin, adjust as shown. Then retighten
and latch.
Tools required
3/8" socket and wrench
7/16" socket and wrench
2.6 Stand back and examine the alignment of the door
with the roof and the vehicle's A-pillar. You can
adjust this by moving the striker pin up or down as
shown to help with alignment. TIP: In the final
step, the front of the door will drop a small amount
the first time you open it. Set the front of the door a
little bit higher so it aligns properly. Adjust as
necessary until you are happy with the alignment.
Once more carefully close the door like you did in
step 2.5. Tighten the hinge bolts.
Tools required
3/8" socket and wrench
7/16" socket and wrench
13mm socket and wrench
2.7 Open the door and check for smooth operation of
the latch. As noted in step 2.6, the door will likely
drop a little bit at the front and the striker pin will
need to be adjusted down accordingly. Also make
sure the door seal is making contact along the
perimeter of the door and the latch clicks twice
when closing. If necessary, adjust the striker in or
out to achieve this (see Figure 2.6).
2.8 Due to vehicle and cab manufacturing tolerances,
the door frames may need to be hand bent to
improve the seal.
To adjust the bottom of the door, hold the door at
the latch with the door open and have an assistant
hold the top of the door. Pull inward on the bottom
corner of the door, then close the door and check
the seal.
To adjust the top of the door, hold the door at the
latch with the door open and pull inward on the top
corner. It is not necessary to have an assistant hold
the bottom.
Repeat as needed until the door is sealed around
the entire perimeter.
2.9 Repeat steps 2.1 through 2.8 for the right door.
2.10 Kit is now fully installed.
