Bonsoir

Hi

I have a Ford transit camper van 1996 LWB

Her side sliding door wont shut... the door bounces back....Ive taken the door panel off... the lock looks to be working ok...moves with key etc. WD40 on everything!!

The door slides along track ok....but wont go all way in and bounces back

I think the Latch has jammed in lock position..and wont go over the keep.... Ive tried to get to the latch via the door panel but can only see where the cable goes into the frame... Ive tried to take the latch off the door... with the correct screwdriver bit!..but it wont budge! Ive tried to force the latch open...but will only go backwards not forwards to release position...

My Haynes manual is good but doesnt show the latch

I dont want to take the door off completely as it is too heavy for me to get it back on the runners again on my own...and I cant get her to a garage so will have to do it on my own

Any advice.... for a damsel in distress in deepest rural France

Many Thanks...in antisipation
