update...
I adjusted the front of the sliding door (right side if facing it from
outside) up to correct alignment, the door waistline is now in line with
the body waistline (on the front)... I took the bottom roller assembly and
compared with the one from another van... on the other van the bottom of
the aluminum bottom roller assembly was grinded/filed flat... the one
that rubs against the frame was not and it's thicker on one end... so I
file it flat and it doesn't rub against the frame anymore...

now I have adjust the rear (left side) of the door...
