Sliding Door Problem.

1
Mr. Murphy (and his law) has been playing his part again!

Our sliding door seems to shut properly, but now pops open again
whilst driving along.
I have taken the door off and pulled apart all the working mechanisms
that keep the door closed but there is nothing obvious wrong. I have
adjusted everything as best I can.

As we are leaving to go to Bateman's Bay (in 30 mins!), I have had to
resort to a strap and hook to keep it closed.

I have 2 possible methods of repair:

1. A knowledgable person will be at Bateman's Bay and they can tell me
what is wrong!

or

2. To replace the striker plate (well pin in reality) and the latch
(and hope they are the problem). I have much more chance of doing this
somewhere east of here so have decided to leave home as is.

Does anyone going to Bateman's have a latch and pin for a 1990 bus and
can bring them along?

If so, please drop me a text to 0427 252334 otherwise I will keep my
eyes open for one on the way!

Please bear in mind this van has the later latch and pin, not the
earlier one.

Cheers,
Andy.

Les - if we have time on our way back I'll get in touch.

Andy,
If you are coming past Nowra, I have a lock and pin here, call me 0402 003965.

oops you may have already left.

Andy is coming from South Australia.

However there are others heading south from the Sydney region who may be
able to pick up.
