Sliding door table rubbing on wheel arch cover

[Unimog]

I have replaced the sliding door card with a table but I find when the door is fully open, it rubs agains the wheel arch, which incidentally has the Vw wheel arch cover fitted. The door clears the arch until the middle hinge locks the door back as it pulls the door towards the van. If I pull lightly at the rear of the door it moves away from the arch. The middle hinge is spring loaded to push the door away from the body when opened, but is not under tension when the door is in the Fully open position. Is this normal, or has the spring become weak with use? If

Mine is almost rubbing the door without the plastic arch trim so you may have to remove the plastic trim.
It is possible to adjust the door. Search ‘sliding door adjustment’ on the Forum and you’ll find it’s a common issue.
The standard fir tree clips won’t be up to securing the door card with the added weight of the table. When the door is slammed the clips will release slightly and the card will come away from the door a few mm allowing the table to rub the bodywork.
I added self adhesive HD velcro, gluing one side to the ply board as the self adhesive glue doesn‘t last on wood. No longer an issue.

I’m having this exact problem, did you manage to find a solution?

I had a similar problem when I fitted the sliding door storage panel.
I checked how close it was to the rear arch when opened after being asked how much clearance there was.
The material I had trimmed the panel in was just touching the arch.
I solved this by putting 2 self tapers in the middle of the panel with plastic caps on them.
This pulled the door panel in and away from the arch when opened.
I’m not sure if this is possible with your table set up.
Push the table back and slide the door open to see the clearance when you’re pushing the table in.
Would tell you if a couple screws behind the table would work.
