Sliding door issue

Hey guys,

I recently purchased a VW crafter 2016 RWD. Since buying it I’ve had some issues with the sliding door, firstly the cable was torn so it wasn’t locking but that’s all sorted now, from fixing that I noticed that the hook latch on the bottom bracket doesn’t hook into the rear latch and when I close the door fully the hook then catches on the runner and I have to yank the door open which bends the hook back out of place.

Also, when the sliding door is fully closed there is a massive gap at the bottom where it isn’t sealing. I’ve tried adjusting all the runners and everything but doesn’t seem to make a difference. I tightened them to the max out limit to being the door as tight in as possible and that made the door jam into the guides on the body. I’ve since had to remove one of these because it jams in every time I close the door.

I don’t know if anyone has experiences one or both of these issues

Pls help
 
Maybe it had some body work done around that side and the opening is misalined? Worth checking.
