Barn Door adjustment bolts

[pdickens]

Hello all. My nearside barndoor is misaligned and my 10 year old son brought my attention to the possible cause! There's
a missing adjustment bolt! Have recently bought the T6 and after research looks like these can shear off and fall off . Not sure if that's the case here but need new and can't find the length of the M8 splined bolt. Please can someone advise? Thanks

I realise I'm replying to myself but nearside missing a bolt with different bolts on other!

can't find the length of the M8 splined bolt.

Maybe remove one of the others and measure it?

Did think of that but didn't want to throw the other out of shape too but might be the only way if I don't order from VW.

Piece of wire to the bottom of the hole and subtract 5mm.
Or a depth gauge if you have one.

Thank you. M8 x 15mm couldn't believe the last owner thought it was ok to secure with one cap head screw.

Seeing is believing, there is no such thing as ‘common sense’.
Make sure you have a minimum of one thread diameter engaged - 8mm.

Many of the VW fixings have a geomet coating on them which is corrosion resistant and takes paint well. If you cannot get these I’d go for zinc plated and a squirt of waxoil (dinitrol, bilt hamber wax) once they’re in.
