Service manual page covering back-door opener cable and front-door lock/striker adjustment procedures.
This is page BF-7 of a Nissan factory service manual section titled "BODY END AND DOOR." The top half covers the Back Door Opener, cautioning not to bend the opener cable with excessive force. It shows the opener handle adjustment (Fig. A, illustration SBF155B) and the opener adjustment (Fig. B, illustration SBF156B), including the release lever, opener cable, and cable holder, with a specified cable clearance of 0-1 mm (0-0.04 in). The bottom half covers the Front Door, with cautions: don't scratch the vehicle body when removing the door, refer to CLIP & FASTENER when removing clips or fasteners, and check door lock operation after adjusting the door or door lock. An exploded diagram shows door adjustment, door lock adjustment, door glass adjustment, and torque specifications: 5.1-6.5 N·m (0.52-0.66 kg-m, 3.8-4.8 ft-lb) at several fasteners and 21-26 N·m (2.1-2.7 kg-m, 15-20 ft-lb) at the hinge area. Insets show door striker adjustment with adjusting shim, torque 13-16 N·m (1.3-1.6 kg-m, 9-12 ft-lb), and outside handle adjustment via a turn adjust nut with 0.5-1.5 mm (0.020-0.059 in) clearance.
