Need help understanding side door.... by kentdog

Does anybody know how to get into side door lower track? There is a plastic step cover that acts as a roller guide for the lower sliding door mount. I had a toolbox full of sockets open up and roll around in the back. Most of the sockets found there way into this track assembly. I can't get them out without pulling it apart and I can't figure out how it comes apart. Any help would be appreciated.
  
BTW: Take a look in yours, you might be surprised what is down there. I used a magnet to pull out the smaller sockets, some belonged to the previous owner as they weren't my brand. In fact, I found several items that didn't belong. My door still works fine, but I think someday (probably when its -10F) the door will jamb and either not fully open or not fully close.
  
Thanks in advance,
Kentdog

the section of the door you are referring to is called the lost section all previous owners included, its a mystery Pandora box what can come out of the little railway track.
What goes in has to come out,
The width towards the rear of the van is actually smaller in height, so move to the front of the B pillar and you;ll find with little fingers stretching and pulling away all of the lost items will come out, sooner or latter.
Clean the roller tracks and re lube, the stuff don't last that long and don't use sprays they tend to stick the dirt and grit that eventually finds its way down under.

The 2.7 L engine is an incredible little power house.I used to have a Ford E350 cube van with a 7.3 Deisel.I now carry the same weight,approx.2500 lbs/1100 KG and I find my Sprinter has more power than my Ford used to have.Mind you I did not have
a turbo in the Ford but regardless,the Sprinter responds better on hill climbs etc.
The Sprinter is not made for racing,but if you are looking for
economy to work for you with enough power to do the job,I would highly recommend it.I presently have 21,000 miles on it with no trouble whatsoever,averaging 25 MPG cruising at 65
miles per hour.

It's true It's called power to the Sprinter! and Sprinter owners love them, for the huge pulling power of the Sprinters engine capacity, at the low RPM range.
G'day Guy I see your getting the miles up on your van too

Hey Richard ,How are you ? Haven't heard from you for while.
Which Sprinter are you driving ,I heard that you sold your 07.
Yes ,I am enjoying the ride. So far,a great machine. Still am amazed at the fact that I don't have to stop that often to refill the fuel. Drop me a line and let me know what you are
doing these days. Take care.
Regards
Guy

Hi Guy
Yep sold the ultra long overhang Sprinter as soon as it landed the price to too good to say no to.
But still have the trusty 05 313 and the 518 CDI MWB unit no problem ever with either never.
