The object of this door adjustment procedure is to center the door striker in the
latching mechanism. The latch can be centered in up / down direction by
loosening Bolts A, as shown in Figure 3-80. The latch can be centered in the
fore / aft direction by loosening Bolts B, as shown in Figure 3-80. The latch may
also be shimmed out from the door skin by adding more washers between the
latch and door for each of the bolts labeled "B". This can help to prevent or fix a
problem with the door sticking.
