B-pillar must be loosened.
– The B-pillar lower trim must be removed for bolts -3 and 7-.
Adjusting for flush fitting
In order to adjust flushness correctly, bolts -5- and -9- must be
loosened.
Use door alignment tool - 3320- with appropriate bit for this.

the door to sink again at the back.

Removing and installing inner door seal
During production, a sealant is applied to the door seals, which
are then placed on the door flange and rolled on.

General body repairs, exterior - Edition 06.2017
Note
♦ When removing the door seal, the sealant is distributed across
the inside of the door seal. The sides are bent upwards slightly
when this is being done. If the door seal is then refitted, sealing
and firm seating are no longer guaranteed.
♦ Therefore, each door seal which has been removed complete‐
ly must be replaced by a “tap-on seal”.
♦ If a door seal has been partially removed, squeeze sides of
door seal together before installing.
♦ Removal and installation are only described for the left inner
door seal. The procedure for the right-hand side is basically
the same.
♦ For reasons of clarity, the rear door is shown removed.
