Van Sliding Door Not Shutting. How To Fix A Sliding Van Door That Wont Shut. 

Thank you!! I’ve been trying to trouble shoot our 2015 Odyssey for months - cleaned and greased rails and still would catch just before closing. Loosened the bolts enough that female bracket could move on the frame - set doors to manual - closed the door and then opened slowly and tightened bolts. Turned back on and door now closes!!! Best I can tell is that as the rollers wear out the alignment of these sensors gets off and eventually it’s enough that it won’t work. I suspect if I ever swap out rollers I may need to do this adjustment again. Thanks! 💪🏼

I own a 2014 Honda Odyssey with a driver side passenger door that wouldn't close within the last inch. I used some 'SuperClean' degreaser on both sensors and where they fit into place. Worked like a charm! Thanks for the super straight-forward video!

Fixed mine with this...thanks for a SHORT video

Thank you so much! I was stuck w drivers side sliding door open in 108° weather, and that was the problem. So easy to fix, and I had the flat, angled pliers w me too! Not even two minutes work and the door shut smoothly. Mine was the bottom sensor, I could see where they were scraping together. Another vlogger shows all this friggin mechanical stuff to fix the doors, and I was starting to get really worried. Thanks again!!!!!

First, thank YOU so much for this video. And second, thank the GUY below who introduced "Superclean" degreaser. Since I didn't a Superclean one, I applied a silicone spray on the sensors. It did work perfectly!!!

Thank you for giving us hope about not spending $$$ to get the door fixed. Our fix was slightly different -- we did loosen the metal contacts and that helped, but we also had to squirt WD40 into the "latch" components because one seemed to be kind of gunked up so that the latching was sluggish. Thankful we saw this.

oh thank you! got a nice used van for xmas, and is one of the main issues. nice to know its not a hugh issue now.

Ouch! Glad you were able to get that fixed. Nice work!

Ah she seems to be just likey wife. My left the sliding door open and it rained all night. I am fuming!!

Thanks so much, this totally did the trick. My son took out the neighbors mailbox when he was learning to drive. When it didn’t close anymore I thought I’d need a new door 💰💰

Also use some non permanent pain on the sensor. So it marks where it goes and the adjust accordingly

Glad it worked out for you!

Try rebooting before anything else--turn off the ignition; wait a bit and turn it back on. (Just like a quick fix sometimes for your computer.) Worked for me.

Glad you could fix it!

Thanks a TON!!!!!

Great! Thank you

Nice 👏🏽👏🏽

Nice

hopefully it'll work on 2012 Honda Odyssey

Yikes glad the damage wasn’t worse!

Does this also apply if the sliding door stops and reverses halfway? Urgently need to know smh

Good

make, model, year etc.........................................................................?????????????????????????????????????????

Did u know Honda is the gayest car company, anyways when my mom had this before July 2019, she had a lot of issues of the odyssey.
