Sliding side door adjustment

Postby Bulldogboy » Tue Mar 10, 2020 7:50 pm

Hi chaps, the side door on my 19 plate 170 manual limited, has a dead lock fitted, recently it just started to catch a little, but today it was catching enough for the deadlock not to engage.If you push the door up with one hand and turn the key it engages.Is there any way of adjusting door hight on the runners? Would only need a farts worth to give enough clearance if not ill have to enlarge the hole a little.

This is just what I'd do and I'm not suggesting you do it.

But I'd lift the door up, if it has just sagged a little.

Undoing it all and adjusting it can make it worse, ok if needs must then that's what you do.

They are pretty flimsy made, check that the middle roller hasn't collapsed too.

Alternatively take it back to the dealer as it'll be under warranty.
