Sliding door was starting to give us fits, not closing fully.  Upon closer
inspection, the door was dropping approx. 1/4" when opening.  Setting out to
diagnose and correct, I noticed the post on the rear frame was torn loose.
Welds on the top and bottom were ripped loose and only held on by the inside
edges and vertical weld.  Had my local machine shop boys heliarc back
together. Por-15'd it and aligned the rear bearing assy. to eliminate the
drop and we're ready to go.

So give a look see to the post and door action.

Happy Trails.....
