Today I repaired the sliding door on my vanagon.  It had been REAL hard to
slide open.  I found that the plastic guide on the rear hinge was worn out
and wouldn't hold the roller/hinge straight on the track.  

On my '80 this part was riveted on and I thought I was gonna have trouble
replacing it, but the dealer had the replacement part (about $4).  I just
drilled out the rivet and used a bolt to reattach the new guide.  Lubed
everything up and it works like a charm!  

Just in time for a season of camping.  The wife and kids like the door to
open - go figgur
