slider

So, I have a clean Kombi sliding door to swap onto my van, as the old one is beaten up. The new door is complete with handle, door locking/opening mechanism, seal and a lovely sliding window, of course. In fact, it looks like I won't need to swap any of the stuff from the old door onto the new...

Hi, Looking for some advice. I was cleaning the van and noticed that the sliding door paintwork had about 5x areas where there appears to be rust forming under the paint. These are small areas, only 5-10mm in diameter but are only going to get worse over time. As a first step, I have emailed VW...

Hi everyone! We are total newbies, to the Forum but also to T6's (although if feels like going back to my roots - we had a T2 camper growing up, and my very first motor was a (devastatingly rusty red/white) 1972 T2). We are looking for a T6 to convert, and really like the notion of twin sliding...

I thought that a tube in the sliding door was a drain for the window. I am pretty sure that the water from the window doesn’t go anywhere other than out of the black plastic cover, underneath and then to the outside. In that case, what’s the tube ?
