Removing the front door (right or left) must be done in the following order. Prepare a stand for the door, open it and unscrew the bolts (arrows, fig. 18.29) on the door connector housing. Remove screws (5, see fig. 18.27/18.28) between the links of the lower (3) and top (2) loops. Remove the screw (8) door opening limiter.
Raise the door, remove it from the hinge and lower it onto a suitable stand (support). Remove connector from door pillar. Unlock it by pulling out the latch and separate it.
When installing the door, adjust it according to the gaps (see fig. 18.2), as described below. Loosen the bolts (1, fig. 18.30) or nuts (2) on the hinges of the door to be adjusted, respectively at the top and bottom.
Adjust the door gap according to the given values.
Check installation height of adjacent body parts (see fig. 18.2) and correct it if the parts are not at the same height. After adjustment, tighten the nuts or bolts of the hinges.
If necessary, adjust the lock retainer by removing the cover on the door pillar. Loosen the screws (1 and 2, fig. 18.31), adjust the lock and tighten the screws again.
Note. After the screws have been loosened, the latch should be at a 90°angle to the inside edge of the door frame and should be easy to move.
When closing the door, the latch should not beat or rub against the internal parts of the lock. Pay attention to the appearance of scratches.
