Hi,

I know this is an old thread but I'm trying to get my door off to re-finish it and having some trouble

I open the door to the indent and lift it.....is it at that point it is supposed to come off the middle rail? If so mine won't budge, it seems to be held in-line by the upper bearings on the middle rail. The wheel looks like it has lifted clear of the runner when I lift it at the indent....but I cannot get it to come off the runner

am I being really stupid here?

cheers

Yep...... When you haveit lofted so the roller os clear of the runner usr your free hand to swivel the top rollers out of the way

Huh? I just unbolt everything...is there an easy way? Late vans...btw..mickey...I have a bottom rusty velle door and a new inner repair panel free if you want them...seems a shame to scrap them but I'm sorted for door now so spare..want?

ta but no the inners i make myself from decent metal, you unbolt them all ? no need at all , if your doing a repair and so need it on and off a dozen times as in sill/wing work etc then hardest job is slider cover then lift the stupid door of, takes less than 15 secs to do, same to refit, if a quickie then leave slider cover on it just takes a few secs longer

I have no idea how...will look at my door...

For future reference the guys at gowesty have a video on their youtube channel. Worth a look!

I found this video very useful for removing the sliding door.
