Guys,

I'm struggling to see where to attach an actuator onto the sliding door.

Any tips/pics please?

This is what I did for the sliding door .....



This next pic is a little tough to make out - it's a picture of the door lock mechanism - I've marked the rod from the central locking actuator with a red line and the 'L' shaped piece of the door lock mechanism that the actuator rod attaches to in blue;
(It may help to imagine that the picture is taken from the position of the central locking actuator, pointing at the sliding door lock mechanism)



You'll need to take the lock mechanism out of the door to fit the central locking actuator rod (well, it may be possible to do without removing it but it's a lot easier if you do - it's makes it so much easier to see what you can connect to to get the unlock/lock action to work)

FRom what I remember I drilled a small hole in the lever marked in blue near the bottom as we look at it. Then I made a u bend in the rod and fed it in.

I've just done the same on the side door and it's working great. What other solutions have you guys come up with for the rear door.
