       Alan, I may be able to help.  I have some of the door hinge parts left 
from the '86 Syncro I'm dismantling.  I also have jobber bearings for all 
roller bearings involved in the sliding door at 1/2 the cost of those from VW.  
The door can be removed by one person.  I've done it many times.  You need to 
use a support like a milk crate to support the bottom edge while you undo all 
the hinges.  Then once undone you can easily move the door yourself to wherever 
it's convenient to work.

Cheers��
