GETTING TO KNOW YOUR VEHICLE
One person should be inside the vehicle, and move the
flashlight around the periphery of the door seal, shining
outward. The other person should stand outside of the
vehicle and check for light passing by the seal. If light is
seen through the seal area, the door will need to be
adjusted.
To adjust the seal compression, proceed as follows:
1. Open the door and lift the upper half-door up and
away from the lower half. Lay the upper half-door on
a clean, dry surface.
2. Using an 8 mm open-end wrench (not provided),
loosen the nut located inside the bottom of the
upper half-door post, closest to where the "paper
test" detected a gap.

3. Using a 3 mm Allen wrench (not provided), rotate
the screw on the side of the post counterclockwise
(while holding the wrench on the loosened bolt) to
increase the seal compression. If needed, rotate
clockwise to reduce seal compression.
Rotate Screw For Seal Compression
1 — 3 mm Allen Wrench
2 — 8 mm Open-End Wrench
4. Tighten the nut inside the bottom of the post using
the wrench and make sure the screw head is flush
to the post. Reinstall the upper half-door.

5. Close the door and repeat the "paper test". Repeat
the adjustment procedure if needed.
6. If needed, add the provided shim to a lower half-
door pocket to seal the upper half-door to the roof:
a. Lift upper half-door up and away from lower half.
b. Clean the bottom of the door pocket.

c. Slide the shim onto a pencil or similar tool.
d. Remove the paper backing from the adhesive
side of the shim and place the shim with pencil
into the pocket.
e. Press the shim firmly to the bottom of the pocket,
and remove the pencil once the shim is firmly in
place.
