Just to say hi from West Sussex. Google led me here as I have a LH top catch sliding door question.

I’ll search out the relevant forum once home and on the iPad, but previous owner did the conversion and doors off respray, leaving an essential part missing. And I’ve no idea what it’s called but it must be a rod of some sort for the too catch to grab and pull the door in. Rain gets in.

Good to find an ‘actual’ forum. I use a few, bushcraft uk, torch forums, and the level of help and friendliness is generally fantastic. Reddit? Phhhh!!!

Striker plate is the name
Next time you see a similar Van ask if you can take a photo of the part

I have a feeling you may find the retaining bolts have snapped off in the vehicle body and been painted over.

If you want to get part sooner rather than you later speak to

Motorhome & Commercial Vehicle Parts and Spares Retailer

coastalmotorhomes.co.uk

Have your v5c registration document to had they may ask for the v.i.n.

Offer to email the photos you posted on here

Thanks all. I emailed the pics to Coastal Motorhomes as I’m off for a bit in the van and will be passing Ringwood. I’ll see what they say, at the moment I was told on the phone that the top catch in the pic was fitted afterwards and there should be a strike plate and not a clasp.

I’m hoping the pics might help them.
