Re: door gap adjustment

Here's a pic of the drivers side hole. You pop out the plug with the white wire in it and the bolt is down in the hole. The passenger side is the same, you just take out the glove box door. The white wire goes down to the door jamb switch for the dome light.

Re: door gap adjustment

If I remember correctly . Use a ratchet , extension, and 9/16 socket and there is a hole in the cab on the inside . You will need the short extension to reach the outside of the cab . Crawl under the dash and you will find a hole in the same location as the bolt tip on the outside . I dont think it was that hard to get to .
