    I have found better not grease any part or slide in there as the dirt/dust sticks to the grease and stops the roller rolling eventually 👍🏻

    Mine was quite a bit different to this, I had a plastic cover initially sitting over the roller lower bracket ( piece being replaced ) then once removed I had a plastic piece which housed the twisted fibre metal pull mechanism to activate the latch / spring. Plus another bolt on the piece you have yo remove to enable you to remove the runner. Was all a bit of a faff by comparison :)

    • @ToTheGarage
      @ToTheGarage  Год назад

      Interesting. Was it a Caravelle model with electric doors? or some other high-end variant?

    • @impropagandadept
      @impropagandadept Год назад

      I think mine is like yours. A plastic cover over the roller and it clips into the end of the run so you have to open van Doorn to close. It's a T5 kombi 55 plate and I am not very good at these sort of things! Do I need a different roller?

    Not my first Jaguar as long ago had 03 convertible in dark grey that was beyond gorgeous. Currently I own an 07 xk coupe in silver that has build date late o5
    Serial # 00045. It's my pride and joy and I treat it with kid gloves.
    I also want a late model i6 xjs coupe but that's proven very hard to come by with a California smog certificate in hand.
    One day I'll complete the trifecta amd if I ever win lottery I think you know what I'd buy next!

  • @Cheeckymonkey114
    @Cheeckymonkey114 Месяц назад +1

    Isn't lubrication of that track part of the problem (if you enable them to slide, rather than turn..) would have thought friction is what is required to enable rollers to function?

    • @ToTheGarage
      @ToTheGarage  Месяц назад

      That's a valid point @Cheeckymonkey114
      I guess if the roller is even slightly sticky on its bearing then yes it would be better to grip on even a rough surface, than to lock up and slide. (causing flat spots)
      The issue is, that regardless of paint quality, that area will inevitably become bare untreated steel with the roller running over it. So the application of an Oil or grease as a 'mobile' coating is the only realistic way to stop it very quickly rotting.
      A genuinely insightful comment. Thank you

    good easy to follow strip down , can you show how the sliding door stays open ? mine will not , the lower rollers are in good nick and theres a spring loaded hook , but nothing for it to engage ?

    • @deen-al-afriqi
      @deen-al-afriqi 14 дней назад

      Over a year later so I'm not sure if you've solved the issue. Depending on the design the little swinging hook mechanism on the roller guide is usually connected to the door with a bowden cable which forces it clockwise when the handle is in t closed position - it pulls it anti-clockwise when the handle is pulled. This hooks it to a little stalk at the back which then locks the door in an open position. If the cable is worn then the pressure is not enough to force it around the stalk and the door stays open even though the door handle is released.
      The bowden cable is not connected to the guide is this video because it uses, or appears to use, the retaining spring mechanism

    You make this sound so easy but it is not. Can be a nightmare when the bolts round off. The final bolt can be impossible to get to without removing the door. The two you remove are also not easy to get out. you were lucky.

      The difficulty in so many jobs is either not having the right jobs or indeed fasteners that have corroded, or someone has already damaged with the wrong tools. I feel for you Kevin🤞
