Sliding side door dropped

Post by corrs2112 » Mon Nov 03, 2014 2:24 pm

Hi, I hope someone can help, I have just bought a 2004 Bongo, this is my third so I have a little experience of them. The problem I have is that when the side door is opened it drops a little, when it is closed, you can see looking down the side profile of the vehicle, that the bottom is sticking out slightly. Is this a common problem, adjustment or repair required? Any help or advice greatly received.

Welcome aboard.

Can't say I've come across this but someone might have.
Take a torch, toilet roll, and tea bags.

this link shows the rollers, sounds like you may need to adjust one or more, they can come loose or break.
