There were a few vendors offering them in Europe such as Winkler. In the US, I think VanAgain in NJ used to offer them. Possibly Detlev at International Motors in Livermore, CA.

I see on the Samba that Eric D. is offering to lengthen your hinge arms for $225. > > Don't forget that you also need to relocate the sliding door stop. > > > Regards, > > BenT > > sent from my electronic leash > > On Mar 3, 2013, at 10:22 AM, miguel pacheco <mundopacheco@GMAIL.COM> wrote: > >> I'm trying to fit fatter tires on my Syncro and looking for that Sliding >> Door extension.
