Thanks for this. Just helped me fix my door! Legend !
Thanks so much for this - worked perfectly. On mine all four bolts appeared to be an M8 spline.
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.
Thanks! For others, Replacement procedure starts at 2:22.
Thanks for posting that. All sorted and seen a couple of your vids. V helpful, much appreciated
Thank you Rupert, glad it helped..
THANKS!! Amazing simple and informative dude
No worries and glad it helped Charlie.
straight to the point, spot on fella cheers
No worries 👍
thanks, keep up the good work/videos
Huge help, thanks!
No worries glad it helped
Really helpful video. Our top runner came out and wondered if a worn bottom gear may be the cause if the door drops slightly? Do you have a link for the part please?
Thanks! Simple fix 😄
you helped a lot, thanks
Thanks for this, i needed it. I cant open the.door fully or something catches it with this new bracket. No worries.
Glad it helped, thanks
Hi, thanks for video. I have replaced as per your instructions but unfortunately my door has locked in the open position. Any tips to close it and prevent it from jamming open? Thanks
Hi the spring loaded latch is very important, my door would otherwise always close when I am parking on a hill
Thanks for that! Had my bus from new in ‘04 and the bottom bearing just failed. Can’t complain after 16 years I guess!! 😂 I did wonder about the hook and the spring. Ah well.... time to try and undo those bolts......
All done. Thank you. Btw... is it just me that keeps the broken original parts?? 😳😳😳
Great stuff, glad your fixed it, no im bad at keeping old bits as well for some reason.. 16 years isn't bad at all, I have had new vivaro doors fall of after a few months before
Thanks for that my t6 one has just disintegrated
Thanks for your help please can you give me the link for the new roller please I've got the same problem.
Cheers Paul
No worries this is the one I bought www.ebay.co.uk/itm/291850802263
is it me, vid said link to item would be shown cant find it?
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?
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..

Cheers for your reply
I’m about to go fit the new roller
Thanks again
The spring and latch, with the hook on is for attaching to the cable that operates the power latch on Caravelles and California's
If you don't have the power lock, you could just angle grind the hook off to save any problems
Get on with it!
Where's the link to the bracket you used please
Hi sorry for the late reply, I will put one in the description
This part doesn't seem to work on my t5.1
What is a torax bit? Mine looks like a triple square.
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
@@scoellphotography Thanks for the quick reply. Mine is definitely not a Torx bolt. It's called Triple Square 8mm (spline). If I put a Torx bit in it I might round it.
@@petercohen3966 Yeah mine was the same it says in the video a few should be Torx and a few should be spline, depends of yours or mine has been replaced before I suppose or what VW put in
@@scoellphotography Hey thanks. Do you know if it's 8, 9 or 10mm ? I'm not even sure where to measure from.
@@petercohen3966 on mine it was a Torx T40 bit and a M8 Spline bit, the M stands for metric
Can you please tell us the part number for the part thank you
yes pelase
@@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.
My door won’t close with this part 😢
Can't find the part on eBay or Amazon?
Nice video but you talk and talk and... when you remove the door hatch part... you don't even show... At least everything is pretty straight forward otherwise... Eitherway - THANK YOU. Your video helped!
Where's the link to the new slider - I can't see it, sorry.
Sorry, I will try and locate one and put it in the description
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.
