SETTINGS
The peripheral play is adjusted via the upper
mountings (A).
NOTE: before beginning the sequence of adjustments,
it will be necessary to loosen the striker plate and lock
mountings to prevent the tailgate becoming locked in
the closed position, when checking the peripheral play.Suppression of beading and adjustment of the
stiffness of closure are carried out at lock (G) and
closure striker plate (H).
These adjustments must not influence the peripheral
play previously adjusted.
NOTE: in all cases, you should begin by adjusting the
contact surfaces at the hinges. See section 40 for
peripheral play.
