Sliding door help

Post by dingdangdoo »

Can anyone please give me any tips on how to get a sliding door back on?I have managed to remove it (well sort of) after taking the rear runner off and lifting the rear of it would not come off but then kind of fell off.I have been replacing the side panel so need to get it back on for lining up.Me and the missis have tried and failed twice so any tips most welcome.Its the later sliding door with the notch in the runner if it helps.Many thanks.

Slot the front two runners into their respective channels first, then slot the rear runner onto the track where there is a little indentation above the track (around about the centre) to allow the roller in and onto the track.

Quite difficult to explain in words :?

you have to hold the door at almost 90' to the van , and locate the lower set of rollers into the channel and then slightly close the door and move forward, this will ensure you have bottom rollers located correctly. then tilt the door to allow the top roller/guide to fit intop the top channal then move door fwd to allow you to sit the middle roller on the runner, liufting it up into the cutout to allow it to fit over the guide. as ^^^^ says its hard to describe but easy to do,
you dont need to remove the door to do the rear wing you just lift of the middle runner and move door fwd and out and sit on a stand..
