Before you adjust that pin on the pillar, make sure you mark a little dot on
two direction, so you know where it was before you adjusted it.
Now, if you look at the locking action, you will see, it works from top
toward the bottom, hooking onto the pin.
The last time I changed the rollers, I had to adjust the pin about 1/8 in.
upward.
The marks you make, will stay on for the next time reference.
Of cournse, not only up or down to adjust but maybe you want it more in or
out to be flush with the rear panel.

hi all,

on my van the sliding locking mechanism works well on the front (or on the
handle end)... but on other end (the hinge end) it doesn't lock completely
unless I close the door with my right hand and pushing the hinge part with
my left hand to assist it then it closes well...

so what part to adjust or replace?* (note: all the rollers are new and well
lubed)*

thanks in advance for any help
