Hi guys,

Reading a post about door bearings on here reminded me that "one" of the jobs on my list is to sort out the closing action of my slider.

It slides to the point of closing OK, albeit with some welly, BUT it doesn't fully close into the locked position.

The door sticks out on the back edge a touch and doesn't sit tight unless I lean on it.

Any ideas would be gratefully appreciated!

Interested in this as my slider has a similar problem. In the cold, say below 10 degrees, it pops open in the back after a few bumps in the road. Had two T3 mechanics look at it and neither could sort it. Given up and just fasten a bungy when it gets really cold.

Just a thought. When the door is slid OPEN a bit to hard, it can begin to bend the front top runner. Mine looks like it has started too. So when closing the door. The top front runner is now further forward. Stopping the back edge pulling fully in. if i dont give mine enough welly the back edge doesnt sit flush. It MIGHT be a reason. This has just popped in my head so i dont mind if it gets shot down!

To the original poster. You can adjust the door in three places. The top bearing, the bottom hinge and the middle hinge (door card needs removing). It's in the bently manual. Download is linked somewhere

sometime back i pm'd a guy an easy step by step to attend to this (assuming no parts were kaput), he then reposted it to help some one ,maybe if he reads this he can do the same.
many door probs are the adjustment and ive lost track on the number that have been fitted and are not true etc.

it took me ages to work out why my door was pinging open.... nearly three years on and it has never once come open again.

Thanks guys,

I'll give it a go at the weekend and let you know how I get on.
