Where to get centre sliding door track?

Post by mshaw1980 »

Hello

The sliding door track that the hinge rollers move along on my van is very crusty and knackered. Anybody know where I can buy this as it doesn't appear to be salvagable :(

Thanks Gary
I phoned VW heritage and the guy said he would call me back about this part. Never did. Did you have a part no when you received it?

You need to go through the VW Heritage web site and on to their Classic Parts section (click the little blue emblem next to 'VW Heritage' at the top of the page).

The part number on my receipt is C252-843-871/A but this now 'corrects' to 252843341A on their web site. Although there is no picture, the description appears to be the correct item.

Hope this helps
