    Great video! Very informative. Can I add that all the bolts supporting the door are spline heads. I used a Torx bit on my van before viewing your video and rounded the head of the bolt. Thankfully after viewing your video I used the mole grips to loosen the rounded bolt.

    Nice video fella
    I have been searching for a video like this and none of the others mentioned the spring loaded hook/latch thing.
    After reading comments on other videos I’m concerned that it can keep the sliding door locked in the open position.
    Am tempted to do the same as you but I’m still a bit concerned that it may end up catching by chance one day.
    I know it’s only been a little while but has yours stayed out the way?

    • @scoellphotography
      @scoellphotography  Před 4 lety +1

      Hi, so it hasn't catched or had any problems at all, I have had a quick look on the T5 and I can't see anywhere the latch would hook onto anything, plus the spring if fitted would be what holds the hook in operation I would have thought. So if the spring isn't there the hook would not hold in place anyway..

      The spring and latch, with the hook on is for attaching to the cable that operates the power latch on Caravelles and California's

    • @OlwenGraham
      @OlwenGraham Před 4 lety

      If you don't have the power lock, you could just angle grind the hook off to save any problems

      A Torx bit is this (You will need the correct size) images.app.goo.gl/urC1M6bCGA4aPQTb9
      This is a Spline bit again you will need the correct size both are stated in the video images.app.goo.gl/auPdk8pvi8YddwgC7

      @@GDUBMX one important thing that is not shown in the video is that in order to be able to get the roller into the track at the back end of the track there is a access point that has a couple screws that have to be removed so that you can get the roller into the track correctly and then line everything up. without that it is impossible to get it into the track correctly.

    Not an easy job on most T5s and mine was no exception. The bolt on the inside would not budge ans the two holding the door pull cable cannot be accesses easy if they round off. Really poor bolts that should be replaced with normal type if you manage to get them out.
