Early slider handle question
My early slider handle seems to be dropping further down from the horizontal to unlock the door. The lock is working fine but the alignment, or lack of it, with the cab door handle is annoying. Is there a way to adjust the mechanism so that the handle sits closer to horizontal to unlock the slider?

Re: Early slider handle question
You can tighten it (and possibly adjust the horizontal) by peeling back the inner door card - it's held in pace by a screw from behind.

I have the screw at the back tight and there is little play which is ok but I can't see how to adjust the vertical height if this is even possible?

Re: Early slider handle question
There's an adjuster rod that runs from the handle to the rear catch, take the door panel off to get to it.

Thanks for the info mate, I should have updated this thread as i looked in my Haynes manual and found the adjuster so this is sorted now
