Sliding door centre guide rail

[seaspirit]

Help, I have a 1986 RHD hi-top and the sliding door recently came right off its runners. I need to replace the centre guide rail, it's rusted through and seems to be warped as the door won't go back on. I tried to order a replacement through the VW Heritage site but apparently it's no longer made. Does anyone know where I can get a replica part? Also, there don't appear to be any fixing screws/bolts - does it need to be welded to the side panel? We're currently in Scotland but moving back to Norfolk/Suffolk are soon. We were hoping to get the door fixed so we can get the van MOT'd and drive it down, but may have to resort to hiring a flatbed to transport it if not

Thanks both, I'll look into those options

normally when the door comes off the runner the roller has split in two
are you sure it's not just this?

Brickwerks sell replacements.
