Adjustment
10. Proper door adjustment is essential for the operation of all its components. Inspect the hinge pins and make sure they do not have excessive play. Fully open the door and rock it up and down (did not rock the car). Door play in the vertical direction should not exceed 1.5 mm (otherwise the hinges must be replaced).
11. The position of the door relative to the body is adjusted by moving the hinges relative to the body or door. To do this, loosen the corresponding bolts. The door must be adjusted so that its top end is parallel to the roof. The front doors should be parallel to the wings. The rear doors should be parallel to the rear fenders and the bottom edges of the doors should be parallel to the sills. If the door cannot be adjusted by moving the hinges, place shims of the correct thickness under the hinges.

13. Adjust the position of the door latch in the horizontal direction. In this case, the front door should be parallel to the B-pillar, and the rear door - to the rear wing. Adjustment is made by moving the door lock (pic. 16.13).
