I've had the problem of my slider door not closing all the way. It's been getting worse over time. I've tried to play with the adjustments to see if I could make it work, it finally broke down and found some help to pull the slider off. That was the hardest part. Second hardest part was getting the latch off the door. It took some PB Blaster amd a torch to loosen the screws. I had to drill the posts off with a 3/8 bit, per the instructions. Reassembly was straight forward with pictures taken at disassembly. I took the opportunity to clean up all the roller bearings. I absolutely can't believe how the door latches and unlatches now!

Easy rebuild, works great!

Fixed my door latch perfectly. Great quality.

The video was quite helpful and instal took about an hour. Now to drive over some bumpy roads to see if door stays shut.

After installation, every bump I drove over caused the Sliding door to pop open. The door was still closed but the rear failed. Had to go back to the original part that was taken out just to make sure I had the safety of not having the door open.

Door work great now. Instructions were clear and easy.

I was skeptical that this kit would work - the arms in my old latch assembly looked ok, but I could not make it catch the pin with the second tooth regardless of what I adjusted. I assumed the problem was my weatherstripping, but gave this rebuild a try anyway. And it worked! and the door is aligned perfectly. Many thanks to the Los Osos crew for doing the design work and making this available to us.
...What also is nice is having Allen-head screws instead of the original phillips version. I'd only caution that these can be torqued way more than you could ever torque the old screws, so don't go nuts there..

Bought as a gift for That Baldwin Life since theirs broke while they were here in Alaska.

Fixed the door popping open. I still filed one of the hooks to be a bit more aggressive but glad to have fresh hardware.

I bought this kit when I purchased the slider door bearing kit. I did watch the video on how to repair, however my door latch was still serviceable and in good condition. Those parts are in my Vanagon repair box should I need them in the future. R/Jeff

No more highway mishaps! Keeps it shut and secure.

First tried the springs didn't fix my issue the latch was too worn out. This fixed the issue of my door popping open while driving

Game changer! I kept disassembling my latch and tightening the spring ... finally had enough and ordered this! It is a game changer and no issues since. Do it now!

Used the kit in our first DIY project on our “new” 86 westy. The door started popping open soon after we bought it, so that meant no driving around. Was easy to install with guidance from the video available on gowesty. Had a lot of fun working on it, and the latch works well so far. Parts came up to Toronto pretty quickly.

My latch had trouble catching. This solved it.
