Sliding Door Grief

[vanhalen]

Can any one give me a bit of guidance concerning why my passenger side sliding door comes to the end of its travel when opening and instead of latching shut smoothly it just bangs against the angled buffer in the bottom runner, it will shut but you have to hold the door open for the hook to latch properly, I bought it secondhand last week and it has just appeared as a fault and i can see no obvious way of adjusting it and I certainly dont want to give it to the dealer to fix as i am on a budget!

Any help would be appreciated............

Hi,

Try putting some grease on the latch mechanism...Ours does the opposite and sticks open sometimes, some grease does the trick!

agree. its the shiney metal roller you need to grease and have found copper slip works best. if this does'nt work you will need to adjust the cable
