3. Datum Dimensions
Use a tram tracking gauge to measure all dimen-
sions. If a measuring tape is used, be extremely
careful because it tends to deflect or twist, which
results in a false reading.

NOTE:
IA suffix character ªRº or ªLº refers to the right or
the left.
IAll dimensions refer to the distance between the
centers of holes measured in a straight line.
IEach dimension indicates a projected dimension
between hole centers.

If headlight aiming is misaligned due to a damaged body panel, repair headlight mating surface using body
and headlight datum points as a guide.
NOTE:
It is recommended to conduct on-board aiming adjustment with headlights turned OFF. If turned ON dur-
ing the adjustment, the duration should be within two minutes.

IDoor glass fit adjustment
Before adjusting door glass alignment, ensure
adjusting bolts for stabilizers, upper stoppers and
sashes are loose and glass is raised so that it is in
contact with upper and side weatherstrip.
1) Temporarily tighten one of the two rear sash
adjusting bolts, at midpoint of oblong hole on inner
panel.
2) Temporarily tighten regulator B channel at a
position slightly lower than midpoint of oblong hole
on inner panel.
3) Lower door glass 10 to 15 mm (0.39 to 0.59 in)
from fully closed position. While applying outward
pressure (load) to upper edge of glass above mid-
point of two outer stabilizers, push in inner stabi-
lizer to glass with 10±5 N (1.0±0.5 kg, 2.2±1.1 lb)
force, then secure it.
