STEP 23: (DOORS)
23.1 Install the supplied brass washers (one washer per pin)
onto the hinge pins on the left side and then apply
grease to the pins.
23.2 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. See Figures
23.2a through c. Then retighten and latch.
23.3 Stand back and examine the alignment of the door with
the roof and the 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. Have an assistant sit inside the cab and
once more carefully close the door like you did in step
23.2. Work with the assistant and tighten the hinge
bracket bolts.
23.4 Open the door and check for smooth operation of the
latch. As noted in step 23.3, 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.
23.5 With the door open, attach a gas strut to the ball studs
on the side frame and door. Make sure the quick
release end is on the side frame so that the gas strut
stays with the door if removed for ventilation.
23.6 If installing a side mirror, do so now. Otherwise, install
(2) supplied rubber grommets into the mirror holes.
23.7 Repeat steps 23.1 through 23.6 for the right door.
STEP 24: (FINISHING TOUCHES)
24.1 Due to the nature of the packaging materials used for
shipping this product, the components of the cab
system may have dust on their surfaces upon removal
from the packaging. It is recommended that after
completion of the cab installation, the cab and vehicle
are washed thoroughly to eliminate any dust or
contaminants. See the Care and Maintenance section at
the back of this manual for critical information on
cleaning the cab.
24.2 If equipped, re-install the SMV sign.
