I have been nursing my sliding door along for awhile now, but unfortunately it has come time that I have to replace the lower slide mechanism as the roller on the end of the mechanism's arm has totally disintegrated and fallen off.
From my searches around this forum on replacing the lower slide mechanism, it looks like the Sprinter step well liner has to be removed to replace the mechanism. On our Westfalias removing the step well liner is complicated by our extended floor that overhangs the step well and the storage compartment that is actually in the step well. I am thinking that I have to at least remove the storage compartment that hangs down from the extended floor and is riveted to the rear wall of the step well.
Before I start disassembling things, I thought I would post to see if anyone else has tackled this job on our Westfalias and could shed some light on the process to possible shorten my learning curve ?
