Sliding door

The usual suppliers will sell you the shims, £4.50 from C&C!

 

It looks as if there is some sort of a plate under the roller, I take it this is a shim

 

This is them. Anywhere from 1-4 can be fitted I believe (Bentley manual has the figures somewhere).

 

Not beyond your capabilities to make a shim Bazza

 

I have misremembered the adjustment. Not a captive moving plate inside the door it's simple slots in the bracket and that's where the settling back problem occurs - because the softish bracket gets dented by the screws ,when you try to tighten in a new position the screws want to pull the bracket back in line with the worn dents. Where there's a will there's a way though, you'll crack it, you might not even have that problem but as a last resort you can buy new brackets I believe.

 

I was thinking that myself, they look pretty straight forward, I've got some scrap metal and it's not as if I don't have the time lol

 

@crossy2112 I need some Barnsley sun so I can get out there to have a look

 

Bazza your like Oliver always wanting more, have we not shared enough of it recently

 

You can shim the bottom out, Baz. Give it a go. From memory, the only corner on the slider that can’t be adjusted is the bottom RH corner.

 

I took off the bottom roller thankfully there was no rust, first thing I noticed there was only 2 bolts holding it on and there was 2 shims , the rollers were so dirty the rollers weren't rolling I gave them a good clean and cleaned the channel, I then replaced the bolts with stainless steel ones and added a washer for the 3rd shim all looks good and the door slides better but it didn't really lift the door

 

I might try adding another shim

 

As Zed said earlier you can gain a bit of height by rotating the bracket around the bolt in the side to push the bracket closer to the door which will lift the door. Did that help lift it?

 

I might need to slacken off the 3 bolts and move the roller back more

 

Stop F****** about & get it sorted!

 

That's what I needed John someone who speaks my language, I'll have my coffee and a smoke and I'll go and sort it f.... me it's only a door

 

Go easy on the smoke that’s probably what the problem is

 

Playtex sell shims that both lift and separate. Worth a try?

 

Vonderbar!

 

Start with a 32B shim and work your way up from there.

 

I'm sitting here in the van after my coffee and I see the gaps in a new light, I see them as little ventilation holes
