Sliding Cabin Door 240 Sundancer

[Gord]

In performing the repairs on my hatch, I noticed that as the softer, factory supplied lower sliding balls and upper sliding blocks become worn, they lose height, which throws the hatch geometry off kilter, and causes the hatch rubbing and scratching problem that has been described in the above thread entries. I believe that replacing the sliders, should help resolve this problem.

I have done this on my 280. When I did it i was able to slide two strips of sheet metal under the bottom track. This raises the Dorr just a little bit and and does help. The whole project is all about little bits. Good luck. One thing I did notice was that the door does flex when it is not closed all the way. I try not to let people go up the steps when the door is not all the way closed. This just makes the problem worse
