WTB T3 kombi parts
Hi all,
After the sliding door catch for a '89 T3 kombi.
This is the latch in the door itself at the rear of door.
Prefer one for a Caravelle (central locking), but happy with a standard one also, I assume they fit. I'm not sure if they varied through the years,
so not sure ut has to be '89.
Please PM/email.
Thanks!!

Hi all,
Thank for the details, I'll follow it up.
Brendan, I'll get you a picture as soon a I can.
Attached shows what I'm after, and ideally the pin that is on the body. Both parts are showing a fair amount of wear. The door shuts very easily, but
will pop open when driving along.

Try this fix posted on another forum
Sliding Door Pops Open Fix
Fixed mine yesterday which has been doing it for a few months now - really simple. Only one spanner required.
Open the door all the way. Have a look at the rear body pillar and you'll see the striker pin/plate thing referred to above.
Take note of it's current position, perhaps even take a photo or mark it with a pencil.
Loosen it slightly (15mm I think from memory) and without letting it change height (vertical position) move it slightly horizontally towards the
outside of the van. 2mm probably all it needs.
Retighten and give your door a gentle push. Bet you it catches easily and stays there!
My theory is that over time, and with plenty of hard slamming, this pin eventually gets pushed inwards. Eventually the mechanism can't quite hold it
as there is too much tension

Thanks for that lucky phil
I have tried a few adjustments and no luck to date. Most posts on adjustments seem to mention difficulkty closing, mine closes real easy.
I have read there is an adjustment of the cable from the front latch to the back, this is the only one I have not looked at yet.
The "hook" at the back that grabs the pin is well worn, so I'm guesing mine has had a lot of use. I'm just over needing rope to keep the door
shut!!
Thanks again.
