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.
