Hi all I put this on general chat
to find a solution, my sliding door on my 1998 caravell has dropped at the right hand side when closed, I can lift it to incorrect position but this lifts the roller out of the track, grateful for any advice cheers Mawsy

Re: Sliding door
one of the mounts has slipped - at a guess.

Re: Sliding door
middle mount plate has moved or track or roller wheel bearing has collapsed, you need to remove the door card from the sliding door to access the three bolts to adjust the height and remove the cover which is held on with 2 small screws at the bottom front and rear edges accessible from underneath to remove the cover, the plastic filler is sandwiched between the cover and the body

Hi
This could be the top or bottom roller / track or adjustment. Firstly, check the bolts on the bottom bracket, making sure tight. Now clean any debris from the upper and lower retaining rails, ensuring smooth roller passage. (old grease love dirt)
Outside the van, the rail cover can be removed, the two crosshead screw can be an issue but can easily drilled out. Wiggle the outer cover to break the gasket (hot soapy water will help), using a flat piece of wood on the panel edge tap up. This rail may be badly corroded and will need a heavy cleaning / sanding /painting. Grease on assembly.
Failing that, new rollers or hinge maybe required.
Hope that helps
