georgelesley....what kind of bump did you put in your ERA track to stop the door half way? thanks
I took two fiber tapered shims used to shim doors and windows during construction work. Put double sided carpet tape on back of each one. placed them on rubber panel flooring just below sliding door. Place them with high ends touching at the point you want the door to stop.
I had to sand the sharp tapered end to thin it out a bit because the factory installed rubber block on the lower door guide was close to the flooring below it.
In operation the rubber block on the bottom door guide will ride up the shim on either side and the high middle part will stop it. Depending on the slope you park on depends which side, front or back of the shim you will use.
If your factory rubber door guide has too much gap, just use more shims. works very neatly just operate the door slowly as it nears the high point of the stop.
It sound far more complicated that it is. It took me all of 10 minutes to do.
