Panels centered between two adjacent panels must have equal gaps on either side. For exceptions to this, refer to the
appropriate specification. Gaps between ad jacent panels or components must not expose harnesses, labels, brackets or
visually poor joint or assembly conditions.
• NOTE: Sliding roof panel clearances are specified without the edge seal installed.
Areas of particular concern are, fuel filler flap, trunk lid to fenders and saddle panels, hood to fenders, grill and headlamps,
sliding roof to main roof panel, door gaps at fenders, B\C posts, roof drip rail an d rocker panel, and bumper cover to fenders

Panels must be correctly profiled to maintain cosmetic appearance, and ensure co rrect seating of seals with minimal wind
noise. Areas of particular concern are hood to fenders, trunk lid to fenders and saddle panels, doors to apertures, doors to
fenders and adjacent doors and relationship of the sliding roof panel leading and trailing edges to the main roof panel.
Exterior Fitments
Bezels, trims and lamps must be concentric with apertu res and have equal clearances with adjacent panels.
Areas of particular concern are headlamp to hood, fender and trim panel, exhaust tailpipe trim to bumper cover cut-out,
