Subject:      sliding door popping open
Content-Type: text/plain; format=flowed

hey all,
the other day my sliding door would not close properly.  i would slide it
shut and it would pop right open again.  okay after scratching my head a
little, i started tinkering with its adjustments.  the only adjustment i
could make that would allow it to close was by changing the position of the
metal post (Catch?) on the body of van towards the rear of slider door. that
is the post that the door catches to when closed. anyways, now the door
closes fine, except when i drive it sometimes opens on its own, real
dangerous when i have two dogs lying in the rear and i am driving 70 mph.  i
guess my question is, is this common?  does this mean the catch mechanism on
door is going bad?  i can not get a perfect alignment that will alow the
door to close properly other then where it is, but with the door
unexpectantly opening, i am concerned.  incidently locking the door does not
help.
TIA
jason
