Re: (sorry, wrong) Re: [DML] door adjustment



Dan,

The point of putting the white grease on the pegs is to show the location of
where the latch is hitting the peg. You can use any type of grease but the white
shows up best. After you've adjusted the pegs to the correct location you can
then wipe the grease off.

As far as removing the pegs, I am relying on many years of experience of working
on different vehicles to know that you only have to remove one peg and lose the
nut behind it to really screw up your day. So I am NOT wrong on this point,
because there are many people reading this and not everyone has a perfect car
like yours.
