Sliding doors

 The Iveco daily III sliding door is designed to not close properly and generally look crap. It is worth acknowledging that this has taken effort to make something this bad and we should all be grateful that it gives us the opportunity to waste hours trying to rig it properly. fig1 I have spent hours on and off faffing with the sliding door. I was clearly not the first as the van came with a new door latch, a couple of pin cavities and a gutter had been fit above the door.  The gutter is a great work around for a leaky door regardless of fit. A fair bit can be achieved with the rigging available in the door which I will give a quick overview of here. The door adjustments available are as follows: Forward upper arm  - extend retract via pinch bolt. Forward lower arm  - raise/lower front edge via 3x mounting bolts and a small amount of adjustment via 2x arm attachment cap head bolts. Forward pin cavities  - move to accept door pins by loosening 2x bolts. Aft latch pin upper - loosen pin
