'93 sliding door repair
'93 sliding door repair
Unfortunately the rollers on the door wore out over the years and ended up busting the post that the door locks onto. It flops around, but I can get it to latch enough to hold it closed. I need to fix the door so I figured that the best thing to do is fix all the rollers first. Anyone know where I can get the replacement rollers for the door??? Also, any suggestions for fixing the post? I haven't started on it yet, but thinking I may need to weld it. Any help or suggestions appreciated.

Re: '93 sliding door repair
i just called the stealership to inquire about the rollers since i need to do the same thing to my 87. They don't sell the rollers seperate, you have to get the whole bracket which includes the roller. Aparently there are 4 brackets 1 top, 1 bottom and 2 middle. the only ones my dealer could get were one of the middle ones and the the bottom one for $85 and $110 respectively....
there has gota be a way to just replace the rollers.
anyone got a slider off the van with the brackets/rollers still attached that can supply pics?

Re: '93 sliding door repair
i wish i could find some more info on these rollers and replacing them, because if I'm going to put a new transmission in the van, then i'm in for the long haul and need that door to stopp ratteling. I wish I could just weld it shut but I need it to open and shut...
