Subject:Temperature Sensative Sliding Door
From:Wil Barker
Date:Wed, 7 Oct 1998 14:05:25 -0400

I have an '85 Westy and as I live in NJ this is the time of year when
the temp starts to dip into the 40's [F].  Pretty much as soon as the temp
drops to 49 degees the sliding door will not close easily from the inside.
I must get out and close it with two hands (one at the front and one
pressing at
the back).  What's up with this???   Is it just the grease viscosity on the
rear
latch mechanizim?  Is the door a giant bi-metal thermometer?
Is this a feature or a bug?

Anyone else experience this fun?
