Car Forum / Volkswagen / Air Cooled Volkswagen Cars / December 2003VW 1971 microbus sliding door adjustment
Upon closing, the door stays about a centimeter too much to the right, causing the weatherstrip on the left to be exposed (door on left side, english bus) Is there a way to adjust this? As well, the driver / passenger doors hang over a bit, any solution for that?

Click on "D" for door (or "S" for sliding), there is an article there. No guarantee it will help...

If you unscrew the bolts and push the latch away from you (in other words: push the latch toward the inside of the bus), then tighten the bolts in place. You'll notice the next time you close the bus door (sliding and others) it will appear to be flush.

Are you guys talking about that gap still being there after this locking procedure? Tom Hey thats a great idea. I'm going to try that today. |
