Alter Sliding Door Opening

Postby Damnthevan » Sun Oct 19, 2014 10:04 pm

Hi All.
I have a 2005 2.4 TD Minibus with medium height roof.
The sliding door only opens halfway.
Is it a simple matter of moving the stops to get it to open all the way or is there something more involved?

Didn't someone on here do a write up about that I remember something about some of the track missing that needed adding to get the door to open all the way??
just follow the onscreen instructions and it's fairly idiot proof...trouble is, we keep producing better idiots

I think it may have been one of the Malta boys that done it?

Not sure who the original author was?

Mk6&7 is essentially the same van, so would think it's the same job :D
