Thanks to those assisted in advice on my Sliding Door Intermittent Electric Door Locking Problem. For the record.... Yes the spring loaded brass rod (3rd from the top) was the problem. The spring has had it. I overcame the problem by moving the connectors on both the door and the pillar to the 2nd rod from the top which wasn't being used. Whether VW had other intentions for these vacant connectors, or they just built in redundancy, it works OK. If anyone knows what the 2nd from the top is meant to be used for drop me line, curiosity has grabbed me. TIA, Chris ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Christopher W.

Occasionally the rear door electric lock will click in when locking the front doors, other times it wont. Things I have noticed� 1. After locking the front doors, I go back around and open the sliding door then close it, while closing it, steady the rear of the door with my other hand the electric lock clicks in. 2. The brass rod contacts on the body, the third one from the top seems depressed as if the spring is broken, is this related? Any comments and suggestions would be appreciated.
