ABSTRACT:
A method of precisely mounting a closure on a vehicle body so that the appearance features of the closure and the body are precisely mated when the closure is closed comprises the steps of attaching a first hinge link to the closure, making a net hole in the second hinge link at a precise location relative a certain appearance feature of the closure, and then installing a fastener between the net hole of the second hinge link and a mating net hole previously provided in the body at a precise location relative a certain appearance feature of the body. More particularly, a door hinge link is mounted on a transverse door surface at a location which establishes the hinge axis at a precise dimension transversely of the door outer surface and establishes the hinge at a precise location vertically from the top and bottom edges of the door. While the hinge is held at a simulated closed position, a net hole is pierced in the second hinge link at a precise longitudinal position relative the trailing and leading door edges and a precise vertical position relative the top and bottom edges of the door. An anchor plate having a same size net hole as the second hinge link pierced net hole is attached to the body hinge pillar at a precise distance in the longitudinal and vertical directions relative the door opening edges so that alignment of the net holes by installation of a bolt therethrough establishes a precise door mounting location in which the adjacent edges, surfaces and feature lines of the body and the door are precisely aligned and spaced relative one another.
