I hope your bottom door track is in goood shape. I had a '78 bus with the
typical rusted out bottom sliding door track. I pulled a fast left turn in
traffic one day and my door unlatched itself, slid back and out of the
track, and ended up lying in the intersection. Luckily the door didn't hit
anything and no one ran over it before I could get back to it ----- ahh
the wonderful VW memories.............


Cheers,
Doug
