Section 104 (Front Door): Adjustment

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2004 Toyota Sienna. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.

NOTE:

On the RH side, use the same procedures as on the LH side.
Since a centering bolt is used as a door hinge mounting bolt on the body side and the door side, the door can not be adjusted with it on. Substitute a bolt with a washer for the centering bolt.
