Vanagon Sliding Door Adjustment

I have an 86 vanagon sliding door that has always had trouble closing staying closed.

Vanagon sliding door adjustment. I have an 81 vanagon. The hardest part of the whole process was getting the sliding door track cover off. Most minivans use a similar system. Is it leaking at the back.

Next open the door and support it working in my carport i used some tires when i work on the sliding door i use my floor jack under the sill this also allows for adjustment of the door for final assembly. Good thing i was repainting that cover anyway. I had to pound and pound and pound on the thing with a block mallet to the point i thought i was surely going to bend stuff. Currently it has a good flush alignment in the front but the rear sticks out around 15mm from the body panel.

After that door removal itself is pretty easy with a helper. To fix your van door and make it open smoothly get some spray oil like tri flow and spray oil on all the rollers top middle and bottom. Are the gaps in front and back with the door closed about the same width. All sliding doors 85 and up use the same rear mechanism.

To move the door more forward or backward there is one bolt behind the interior door panel that lets you adjust the fore aft position a bit. The placement in the door and the hinge is differnet than the one in the pictures. Front of sliding door fits flush with front. Once the rollers on.

Would love to have some advice. I need some advice on how to adjust the sliding door rear side so that the door lines up with the body panel. Those would 2 different adjustments.
