Bus Style Cargo Door Adjustment

[bigdad1970]

I need to adjust the one of the cargo doors (bus style) on our 97 Signature. Does anyone have a diagram or know of the best way to adjust them? I not getting a good seal between the door and the weatherstrip on the side of the door sticking out a bit.

I tried searching but wasn't coming up with anything for this style of door.

Your door lock is different then my bus type door, but isn't the nader pin adjustable in or out?

While your latches are different than mine. It looks like the hinge is the same as my Dynasty. What typically happens on mine is the door is able to slide sideways on the hinge because there is nothing to stop it. I open the door parallel to the ground and then tap it sideways with something soft enough not to chip the paint. Tap close to where the door attaches to the hinge. My doors then line up with the latches again.

That was the first place I looked but it doesn't adjust there. My solution was to bore out the hole to give it some adjustment but I thought someone might have a better way I'm not thinking of. There didn't seem to be adjustment on the hinge or latch in pics 2 and 3 either but I'll try again in a day or two. (It's parked about an hour away from home.) I was running out of time last time I was there and had to leave.

I do believe the nader pin is where the adjustment needs to come from.

These doors don't open parallel to the ground, they open vertically.

You open it vertically till the whole door is parallel to the ground so it will slide on the hinge easier.
