Sliding door button

[stupot]

Hi all
Van went in VW dealer for a replacement sliding door module but they’ve not fitted the door lock button back on! Idiots. Hassle to go back as it’s 90 min round trip, so may fit myself if they send me one. Anyone know if it’s easy to do? It’s the button in the pic.
Cheers

[GUIDE] How to remove a sliding door on a T6

I didn't set out to write so many guides but I did take photos when changing 4 out of 5 doors on my van this weekend o_O, so it would be rude not to post them up for others' benefit. I take photos so I know how to put it back together! The sliding doors are attached to the van on three...

Thanks! That is helpful. Update is the button is there… just buried in the hole under/behind the trim, god knows how they didn’t spot that… so I’m not risking faffing anymore, back to the dealer. I’ve removed my vanshade so that’s one less thing they can mess up! Anyone in the Northampton area avoid the local dealer!!

Hi, The button is attached to a threaded rod so can be adjusted by removing the surround. My button was fouling the plastic trim surround and not locking. The previous owners genius solution was to remove the trim it so did??
It turned out to be a really easy fix. The metal rod had bent slightly out of shape. I bent it back, unscrewed the button so it didn't disappear into the trim when locked, bit of silicon spray and it works like a charm.
Might save a trip to the dealers........Kev
