Hello Shane,

It's important to remember that an empty box warps quickly. VW's solutions incorporate struts and reinforcements inside. And for comfortable, unbending entry and exit, the range includes an extra-high sliding door, for example, for postal vehicles.

See VW part catalogue page 068-00 for reinforcements below sliding roof top or high top:

the special high sliding door e.g. in this brochure (top of 2nd page):

regards,
