sticking sliding door

Post by **Kev-d** » 12 Sep 2008, 06:59

A quick question. My door has stpped opening, seems to get stuck on the track thing, then when you get it open very hard to push along. Any advice, what should I put on track?

thanks

Kev...firstly have a good dig around in the bottom track and make sure there is nowt in there that shouldn't be......have pulled all sorts out of mine.

I have used spray grease to make mine run smoother - it is actually chain lubricant for motor bikes! Works well, though.

Also - make sure the runners on the door haven't got bent, or the door card is not loose and catching on the van somewhere...

Good luck

Thanks Em,

I have already cleaned out a load of sand, will give it another go.

Yup trailing end of door card (opposite catch) can really mess things up - gets chewed in process. Agree on muck in bottom track - cleaned mine out today and out rolled one of those ball floating compass type things from the bend area - loads of crap in there and none of it familiar to me.
