Installation
5. Replace the door and connect the electrical connector. Insert the connector into the rack and secure with the bolt.
6. Put the door hinges on the studs, then securely tighten the fastening nuts. If necessary, the door can be adjusted by placing spacers between the hinges and the door (these gaskets can be purchased from your BMW dealer).

Adjustment
8. Close the door and check the fit of the door to the body parts. If necessary, the position of the door can be adjusted by loosening the hinge nuts and moving the door together with the hinges in the required direction. After adjustment is complete, securely tighten the hinge nuts. In case of damage to the paint around the hinges, paint over these places with a brush to protect them from corrosion.
