DOORS
ADJUSTMENTS
Door Lock Striker
Door lock strikers incorporate an inter-lock feature
consisting of a notch in the striker into which the lock
bolt housing extension engages. With the inter-lock
feature it is very important that the lock extension en-
gages properly in the striker notch and that, where
necessary, the correct striker emergency spacers are
used to obtain proper engagement.
1. To adjust striker up, down, in, or out loosen striker
plate screws and shift striker and adjusting plates as
required, then tighten screws.
2. To determine if door lock striker emergency spacers
are required, apply modeling clay or body caulking
compound in the door lock striker notch where the
lock extension engages, and then close the door to
form a measurable impression in the clay or caulk-
ing compound, as shown in Figure 24. Remove all
clay or compound when adjustment is completed.
When dimension "A" from inside face of striker teeth
to center of lock extension i s less than 3/16", install
emergency spacers and proper length striker attaching
screws.
NOTE: Dimension "B" from center of lock
extension to inside face of striker notch should .
never be less than 1/8".
If check indicates need for emergency spacers, pro-
ceed as follows:
1. With pencil, scribe position of striker on body pillar.
2. Remove three door lock striker attaching screws and
remove striker and adjusting plates from pillar.
3. To install, place striker, shims and adjusting plates
within scribe marks on pillar and tighten screws.
IMPORTANT:
Whenever a door has been re-
moved and installed, or realigned, the door
SHOULD NOT be closed completely until a visual
check is made to determine if the lock extension/
will engage in the striker notch. Where re-
quired, door lock striker emergency spacers
should be installed so that door can be closed
and an accurate check made to determine emer-
gency spacer requirements.
Door Window and Vent Adjustment
To move the top of the window in or out, the bottom
ends of both run channels are adjustable. The rear
channel is adjusted by loosening the lower of the two
screws on the rear face of door, "C" Figure 25, and
moving channel as necessary. The front channel is ad-
justed by removing the trim pad and moving the Channel
in or out by a stud and nut adjustment, "B" Figure 25.
The top end of the rear channel is not adjustable in or
out.
On 19467 models an adjustment may be made to the
closed-door relationship of the vent assembly to the
windshield frame. This adjustment is controlled by the
stud-nut assembly "B" Figure 25.
The closed position of the window is controlled by
bumper assemblies located at each end of window frame
as shown in Figure 26. ^ Access to bumper retaining
screw may be gained through holes "D" and "E" in
Figure 25.
Door Hinges
The position of the door assembly in the body opening
is adjusted by the striker plate position covered pre-
viously and the position of the door on the hinge rear
