Syncros sliding door tryed to
get away last  night.   Rear roller broke in
two piece.  Axually there are  three rollers
at the rear of a 1986 and newer vanagon.
The roller that  broke is vertical and
looks like a belt could run in it.   Anyone
have a source for this roller?


One more thing I forgot.  If the roller groove  is still good then you can
just change the bearing.  The groove in the  roller does wear also.  If it looks
like a V then it is worn and the door  will hang too low.  It is supposed to
have flat bottom in the groove like  this: \-/.  It is a generic bearing which
can be supplied by most any good  bearing supply.  Remove the old one and
take it to them for matching.   The other two bearings can also be obtained at
your local bearing supply.   I have them listed on my _Vanagon Items Forsale_
(http://members.aol.com/Fkc43/sales.htm)  if you  cannot find them locally.
