Hi all,

Had trouble opening the sliding door a couple of weeks ago and removed the inner panel to discover the pullrod was in two bits. I've tried screwing them back together but they pop apart whenever I shut the door. It seems like the threaded end of the right hand bit of the rod has snapped.

Any ideas where I might pick up a replacement rod, short of getting a new door for spares?

Take the knackered part of the rod out and run a die down it to extend the thread about 1/4 ", then refit and adjust the connecting sleeve nut so it screws onto the new thread more than the other threaded rod, may get you round the problem.

Thanks for the suggestion - will give it a try.
