Sliding Door Lower Rail

Post by 100leelee »

Hi,
Has anyone changed this in the past..?
Have the inner sill to change..
Bought the outer sill with seal channel..
Wondered how the roller guide fits into this??
Had a look on the Schofield site and they do a ‘guide rail’ with door seal channel..?
Any ideas??
Ta

If you are going to buy an inner sill from schofields then get the guide channel with the seal channel, that is all you need to make the complete sill . The outer sill you have wont be needed . Now the original vw slider sills are sold out perhaps a h schofield could make the inner sill and guide rail already welded together from the parts they make.

Maybe the suggestion of the guide rail welded to the inner sill wouldn't work as the roller guide part is attached to the floor plate edge.
