ter line is outboard of the body character line or tap
the latch striker outward if the door character line is
inboard of the body character line.
(3) Inspect alignment. If correct, tighten striker
with 71 Nzm (52 ft. lbs.) torque.*
UP AND DOWN
(1) Loosen the latch striker.
(2) Tap the latch striker downward if the door
character line is higher than the body character line
or tap the latch striker upward if the door character
line is lower than the body character line.
(3) Inspect alignment. If correct, tighten striker
with 71 Nzm (52 ft. lbs.) torque.*
* The center line of the striker anti-snag tab must
