Reason for change

Reason for block

Complaint:
The load compartment sliding door catches or is difficult to operate.
The cable track of the load compartment sliding door is cracked, resulting in noises.

Cause:
Dirt from the cargo area (e.g. stones, packaging waste) gets jammed in the movement radius of the cable track, restricting the movement of the cable track. The cable track can crack.




















Remedy:
In order to minimize the amount of dirt entering the area of the load compartment sliding door cable track and to avoid damage to the cable track, a foam section should be glued onto the load compartment sliding door (see attachment). The length of the foam section should be made to fit the width of the load compartment sliding door.

^ Make sure that all foreign objects under the step are removed (vacuumed out). The cable track must be able to move properly.

^ Dirt and dust can also settle under the film on the floor panel below the cable track (see picture 10 and 11 in attachment). This area must also be cleaned entirely.

It is not necessary to remove the door for this work!

Note:
The cable track must not be greased.

Check the setting of the lower sliding carriage and correct it if necessary.
