hey all, the other day my sliding door would not close properly. i would slide it shut and it would pop right open again. okay after scratching my head a little, i started tinkering with its adjustments. the only adjustment i could make that would allow it to close was by changing the position of the metal post (Catch?) on the body of van towards the rear of slider door. that is the post that the door catches to when closed. anyways, now the door closes fine, except when i drive it sometimes opens on its own, real dangerous when i have two dogs lying in the rear and i am driving 70 mph. i guess my question is, is this common? does this mean the catch mechanism on door is going bad? i can not get a perfect alignment that will alow the door to close properly other then where it is, but with the door unexpectantly opening, i am concerned. incidently locking the door does not help.
