sliding door won't close

  1. The sliding door on my 94 caravan won't shut properly. I know the
    latch mechanism (the one that engages the pin) is broken, but I think
    that's not the real problem. The stripes that run down the side of
    the car don't line up anymore. It's like the side door has dropped
    maybe 1/8" - 1/4" preventing the lock from engaging the pin correctly.
    I had to adjust the pin lower to compensate. I inspected the rails
    and wheels any everything and it all looks correct, i.e. no missing
    plastic coatings on wheels or whatever. I can't spot anything
    anywhere that would make the door drop like that. Has anyone else had
    this problem?
