Unclip the tailgate balancers at (A).
Remove the mounting nuts and remove the
hinges (B) (two persons required for this opera-
tion).
NOTE : if the tailgate or the roof is being repla-
ced, retain the height adjustment shims located
under the hinges (B).
To do this, use a cutting tool to destroy the finis-
hing seal around the shims and retain them.
The hinges are welded on the tailgate, so these
shims of thickness 1 mm are used to adjust the
clearance between the roof and the tailgate.

PROCEDURE FOR ADJUSTING THE STRIKER PLATE REFITTING
48A
IMPORTANT
When refitting the hinges, remember to ensure
sealing between the sealing washers (under the
mounting nuts) and the roof panel.
To do this, use plugging mastic Part Number 77 11
170 230 (refer to Technical Note 396A).
To adjust the tailgate and its lock after refitting,
observe the opening clearances 4, 6 and 7 descri-
bed in section 40.
This adjustment must be made with the tailgate
fully fitted.
NOTE : before beginning the adjustments below,
slacken the lock striker plate mounting bolt (C), so
there is no resistance to closing.
