sorry for the thread resurrection, but I don't suppose you have a record of what that video was do you?

I have a T5 cali manual door where the middle roller scrapes the bodywork at that point, may as well tackle it whilst I have time on my hands... Thanks

There are other videos showing how to change the manual door roller which is much easier and cheaper to do. But least this helps you understand how to access the rail. I removed mine last night and broke some clips so have had to reorder some off ebay. Might be an idea to order some spare clips before you start as it's very likely you will break some.

@steve_b That’s the one.

Might have been my lack of skill but i found those trim clips a complete pain in the backside and the cause of much swearing!
These ones were much easier to use and a better match for the ones on the van

NOT ALL T5 and Caddy models. These are one of the fasteners used on the rear quarter guide rail parts on models with side sliding doors.

Glad I ordered some of the panel clips you mentioned as the original ones I bought just wouldn't go on. Thanks!
Door cables all replaced and now working great.
