Here are those videos: 1: https://youtu.be/M5UrduOCJws 2: https://youtu.be/gbbMbZ6DGgc I used those to remove my slider to clean the mechanism and reduce the noise. Turns out my van doesn't use any of the bearings I bought from GoWesty, but I didn't have any trouble following the videos to put the door back on!

Last night I got home and went to open the sliding door and it fell off! It’s only held on by the one metal clamp on the bottom door handle side now.
