How to improve the smoothness of a van door.

Model: (Various brands) Various
Part: Car door

Video tutorial

In this video, we can see how to improve the sliding of a van door. Almost always, the middle door of a van slides, regardless of the brand, but to facilitate opening in all parking conditions, the side door opens by sliding instead of swinging open.

Over time and with wear, the mechanism tends to get stuck, and the problem rarely occurs with the upper roller, which experiences low friction. Mostly, it is the lower roller that undergoes the most wear because it supports the entire weight of the door.

The first thing to do is to thoroughly clean the track where the roller slides, then grease it well, and finally lubricate both the visible mechanism and the one that remains inside the door. Even though the YouTuber does not recommend WD-40, we would like to disagree and definitely use it.
