Hi All,
In the process of fitting a black painted rail to my 2018 144" Cargo I discovered two neat things: First, it seems you can order a black rail from the factory parts bin because that's what I got with PN: A 906 766 07 37. Second, using a 1" wide, 20' ratchet strap with hooks on each end and an eye bolt I was able to switch out the rails in under 30 minutes by myself. As can be seen in the pics, the object of the strap was to unweight the sliding door allowing the rail to be R&R'ed.
After removing the M6 flanged nuts from the inside and removing the T30 torx screw from the forward end of the rail, the unweighted door/rail can be propped out by several inches with a roll of cloth between the door and the body to allow room for removal and reinstallation. The plastic
piece at the back end of the rail must be removed to allow the door roller to exit the rail. I used an eye bolt with a long thread and adjusted the nuts to provide a fine adjust of the ratchet positioning such that the door was floating nicely in the rail before attempting to space out the door and withdraw the rail. Also added the trim piece for a finished look at the back of the rail groove.
cheers
Munmile
