Here are those videos:

I used those to remove my slider to clean the mechanism and reduce the
noise.  Turns out my van doesn't use any of the bearings I bought from
GoWesty, but I didn't have any trouble following the videos to put the
door back on!

>> Anyone ever have their sliding door fall off? I have an ‘85 vanagon. Last night I got home and went to open the sliding door and it fell off! It’s only held on by the one metal clamp on the bottom door handle side now. My mechanic is closed but he said I could still buy parts from them this week if I need. I’d like to fix this on my own anyway. So I’m going to do some research. Does anyone have any suggestions?
