  • Apparatus for adjusting relative orientations of components, and methods of use and manufacture thereof
    Patent number: 9994271
    Abstract: Some embodiments are directed to an adjuster for adjusting a position of a vehicle door relative to other vehicle components. The adjuster can include a pin that is configured to be held by a vehicle door latch so as to form a rigid connection between the pin and the vehicle door. The pin can also be configured to be released from the vehicle door latch upon actuation of a vehicle release mechanism. A frame can be supported by a surface that is static relative to the vehicle. An actuator can connect the frame to the pin. The actuator can be configured to enable the vehicle door to be manually raised or lowered by a predetermined distance that facilitates the vehicle door adopting a position that provides enhanced communication between the vehicle door latch and a vehicle striker.
