Installation
Installation procedure is the reverse of removal, except for the following:
Warning
Always replace plugs or tape removed from the front door shells when servicing or inspecting the door or its components. Additional holes in the door creates more escape paths for air, which decreases the front door pressure sensor's ability detect a side impact, and can negatively affect airbag deployment.
- Use the door handle alignment tool before tightening the nuts that secure the handle to the door outer panel.
- To achieve a fit consistent with the other door handles on the vehicle, 1 shim (1.5mm thick) on each door handle mounting stud is nominal. If necessary to achieve the correct fit, try combinations of 1 or 2 shims, up to a total of 3.0 mm total thickness for all shims on any of the 4 door handle mounting studs.
- Test the door handle before reassembling the door.NoteUse a pen or similar object to latch the door while the door is open. The mechanism is latched after 2 clicks.
- Reinstall any plugs and replace any waterproof tape that covered any of the nuts.
- Use the marks to align the regulator.
- Align the glass to the seals. See Door Glass - LH - Front - Adjust .
