Heavy sliding door rubbing on paintwork

[Phil_Cool]

Hi All, looking for advise. My Converted 2016 T6 Highline has an issue with the bottom sliding door mechanism just starting to touch the paintwork underneath the runner. With the van only 4 year old, owned and cared for since day one by myself.

I’m guessing with the added weight in the door (a window, insulation etc) it’s loading the rollers more. Is there a difference in the brackets for a California or a kombi which makes them more rigid?Does anyone have recommendations on any adjustment? Has anyone replaced the mechanism & where did you buy the replacement part?

thank you in advance for your help

Sliding door middle runner problems

As you can see from the pics below the middle runner is touching the bodywork just as it opens and closes and I'm not sure how to make the adjustments to raise this about 3mm to be the same as the other side. All the rollers etc look to be in good condition as you would expect from a van that's...

Hi, Thanks for the link. It’s more the bottom bracket than the middle runner. I’ll try and up load a pic

The pin in the bottom of this bracket has started touching when the runner begins the curve in towards the van. Looking at the bracket it does look to have dropped forward. I wonder whether the 2 upper rollers on this bracket have worn.

Yes, you just loosen the bolts and physically move it.
