Anyone having problems with doors sliding off :?:

I've created a shock absorber for the door track, door opening on a hill can be a problem if a punter opens door with any kind of force, I'm sure you know what I mean :lol:

Anyway I use an empty 10mil e-cig liquid plastic bottle, cutting it in half, using the bottom half I fill it tightly with sponge, I then gaffer tape the bottle covering the whole bottle, encasing the sponge, I then due to its flexibility squeeze in to the track where the door settles when fully open, the sponge within allows the door to hold when loading a wheel chair or facing down a hill, it works well, I've never had a problem, it also wares well :wink: :lol:

I also gaffer tape the back of the kick plate below the passenger seats, again no problems with cracks appearing, it works that's good enough for me :lol: :lol:

Any other tips welcome :lol:

Good fix, why don't the conversion companies do the same?

They probably don't use ecigs!

Maybe a rubber stopper will do the trick. :roll:

Hard rubber would stop the door latching open. Softer rubber would rip after a few hits.

Shouldn't be beyond the wit of the manufacturers to come up with a solution though.

The way I do it is durable plus I can make them up as I go through them but I'm still on the first ones, sometimes the simplest of ideas eh :D

Just a wee plastic bottle, cut the top off, fill tightly with sponge, wrap with gaffer, job done =D>

Kudos to you Dougie, but you shouldn't need to do this. The manufacturers should have sorted this ages ago

Agreed Gus but it's probably not in the manufacturers best interest to make parts that last or solve issues :wink:
