|
|
I am about to purchase a slider door off another late model van (my syncro is a 1989)...question though...I have factory power locks and not sure the donor door had them (all items are stripped off the door). Is there a way I can see if it did OR if it did not, can I just switch over all my components from original door to donor door? Thanks for the clarification. _________________ 1989 Sally the Syncro.....she is a work in progress. 1.8T and tuned...she scoots up the hills...watch for flying dog drool out the windows.

Tim(why?)
I've purchased a contactor pad you show in the door for a project, not for power locks. I still need to find the pin/spring plate for the frame, I suspect it may be similar to another VW/Audi part... Could i beg you to take a picture of the frame side, please?
Thanks,

sliding doors with power lock have a cutout for the contact plate and a welded in bracket to hold the actuator
You can cut out the hole measured from the old door and you can buy a bracket:

Steven, yes perfect!! Thanks! (now I need to see if there is a hole already in that spot on my frame, or if the holes/threads need to be cut)

Thank you for the pictures and clarification. I will check the slider and see if it has it cut out already...I hope so.
Thanks again everyone. _________________ 1989 Sally the Syncro.....she is a work in progress. 1.8T and tuned...she scoots up the hills...watch for flying dog drool out the windows.
