Sliding door - Rattle when open

Hi All, had a browse but couldn't see what I was looking for...

My other half opened the sliding door and let it go when parked on a slope, and when the door got to the end of the runner made a fairly not-OK sound.

It still opens and closes as it should, but the door moves in and out from the van (side to side) if wiggled - I can't recall if it did this before, so wondered if anyone can confirm please?

Do you have a wobbly door and mine is fine, or might I need to replace the centre roller mechanism?

Thanks to anyone who can shed some light :)
 
So assuming the door slid open.

The door will make quite a noise when it hits the stops (large rubber bumper attached to the door )
Similarly the lower clip / release Mech hits a roller (lower C pillar)
The top roller also hits a foam inset (upper C pillar)
it can make quite a noise when the door is allowed to freestyle open as it gets up some momentum.

The slider will move in / out in relation to tge van in the open (latched) position. So the movement is normal

If your door slides closed under normal forces and doesn’t make any untoward noises then I’d say your rollers are ok .
