I never found it to be a problem with my 2010 vito and it had the push button to open from the inside in a very awkward position, on your model it’s in a much easier position. Do you keep the runners and bearings clean and lubricated ? I used to clean them with a degreaser every six months or so and when dry I used silicone spray, don’t use wd40 or grease as this stays wet and attracts dirt and grit and stops the doors running smooth and closing easily.
Yes mine had a button to open the door but it only opens not even a inch and at times doesn’t even open but have to have foot hand break on otherwise won’t work
Yes the doors are heavy even when sliding how do I go about greasing them? Where to I apply the grease ?
DO NOT use grease, silicone spray is what you need, about a fiver a can. You have to clean the runners and the rollers with a degreased first ( jizzer or gunk in an aerosol) then hose it away. When it’s dry spray the runners and rollers with the silicone, it’s mostly the outside ones that get really dirty, I would only silicone the inside ones.
