Sliding door overtravel, hitting passenger door

[getgood]

I’ve an issue with my T6 sliding door.

When shutting it “overtravels”, causing it to ever so slightly kiss the passenger door and door to the fuel cap before bouncing back into it’s closer position.. So much so that the paint has chipped at the contact points.

I’ve attempted to align the lower front rollers, striker plates and latch but nothing appears to alter the fact the sliding door is essentially over travelling.

Its a 2018 plate, my next thought is to play with the middle back roller but looking to see if anyone has had this issue and/or knows what would most likely be causing it?

Oh-eck is it missing ang bumper stops?

I don’t believe so. One next to the latch plate appears in good nick.

The door seal has seen better days but I can’t imagine that has too much bearing on the travel of the door?

All rollers on the brackets in place?

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

25 Oct 2020

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 , 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 carriers; the top roller carrier, the middle/rear roller carrier and bottom roller carrier. Each carrier allows fine tuning of the shut gaps after you have fitted the door.

You will need to remove the door card first, but there's no loom to contend with as all connections to the sliding door are...
