Attention! The procedure for removing and installing the rear side door is the same as for the front one.
Removal
1. Open the door.
2. Press the retaining latch under the protective cover (see arrow A in the illustration) and detach the front pillar cover 13.
3. Move dog 14 down (see arrow B in illustration 69.2) and disconnect plug 15 on the front pillar.
4. Unscrew the nut 3 bolts 4 securing the upper hinge (see illustration).
5. Unscrew the lower bolt 9 on the lower door hinge using a special key, for example, HAZET 2597 with a HAZET 6396 handle (see illustration).
Attention! When removing, unscrew only the lower bolt 9 from the lower door hinge (see illustration 69.5).
6. Remove the door from its hinges and place it on a soft surface.
The door is installed in the reverse order of removal.
7. Screw in the new lower bolt 9 and tighten it to 20 Nm. Then tighten it with a spanner by 1/4 turn (90°) (see illustration 69.5).
8. Screw on nut 3 and tighten it with a force of 14 Nm (see illustration 69.4).
9. Close the door and check the gaps. Adjust the door if necessary.
Fit
10. Check the door gaps.
The door is installed correctly if, after closing, its gaps relative to adjacent body parts are parallel, and the door itself does not protrude or sink, its outline matches the outline of adjacent parts.
A depression of the rear side door relative to the front door by approximately 1 mm is acceptable.
Gap width. Touran cars:
- The gap between the front door and the front wing is 3.0 + 1 mm
- The gap between the front and rear doors is 3.9 + 1 mm
- The gap between the rear door and the rear wing is 3.0 + 1 mm
- The gap between the door and the threshold is 4.0 + 1 mm
If the specified nominal dimensions are not maintained, then the lock bracket should be removed from the body and the door hinge mounting bolts should be loosened.
11. Loosen bolts 6 and 7 securing the upper hinge and bolts 11 and 12 securing the lower door hinge (see illustrations 69.4 and 69.5).
Attention! To gain access to bolt 6, it is necessary to remove the instrument panel or the upper part of the central pillar trim if the rear side door is being fitted.
Caution! To access bolt 11, remove the lower part of the front pillar trim or the lower part of the center pillar trim if the rear side door is being removed.
12. Fit the door by moving it to the desired side.
Attention! Attempts to fit the door in a different way, for example by moving it upwards, will be futile because the door will settle again.
13. Loosen the bolts of hinges 2, 8 and 9 to fit the door to the contour and fit the door(see illustrations 69.4 and 69.5).
14. After adjusting the door, tighten the hinge bolts to 20 Nm, then tighten them further with a wrench by 1/4 turn (90°).
15. Replace and bolt the lock bracket, tightening the bolts by hand until the bracket can be moved only with sufficient force.
16. Close the door. The bracket will move and take the desired position. After this, carefully open the door and tighten the bracket mounting bolts with a force of 20 Nm.
