would this attach to my 68 vw. van? side (slider) or back door?

I don't see how it could work on the side door. I expect it will fit around the whole back end, but if the back door is hinged at the top, you might have a problem. The back window on the cap of my Tundra is hinged at the top and has no horizontally open position... it's either pointing up (open) or pointing down (closed). So I can only open the tailgate when the tent is attached.

The aluminum panel should work. As previously stated, please make sure to order the correct height for your door track.

I used it on the track only for a pair of sliding doors. Not necessary to use on both sides.

You can not use this unit for a side slide window, they make special units for side windows. They cost much much much more.

I have a Jeep Grand Cherokee so just tried it for you. It doesn't work on the side door. It works great on back. Our dog loves it!

Don't know about side. I have a full size pick-up and a van. My issue was in getting either vehicle inside the garage far enough that the garage door would close as near as possible to the rear of the vehicles, saving space in the front. Both of them do exactly what I wanted them to do.

If you mean sliding glass doors or windows that slide sideways, then, yes, the adapter included with our unit would fit. It's a long panel and infinitely adjustable.

for my 650 v-srtom only only left side-rt side exhaust guard holds off-no issue-left side needs bar license plate to pass foot peg-that info for suk vstrom

The side panels are interchangeable. I built mine with the entrance opposite of the one pictured. It works great. It is a nice unit. Good luck.

I don't have a van and I also don't have a luggage rack so I've put this on and off our car several times using the strap. I just don't see how it wouldn't block your sliding mechanism if you ran it through the back seat area. I think the luggage rack is the only option with sliding side doors.

I'm not sure what you are asking. My sliding (from the inside) slides from left to right. I'm sure it would have worked if the door slid from right to left.

Yes! You really want to get a sliding door edge pull and a Set of sliding door flush pulls as well . Install the flush pull above or below the receiving end of the lock

It works on either side. I have replaced both sides now and they are the same. The first one I got at the dealership for 3 times the price, but it was painted. This one is black and when I installed it I think it doubled the value of the van :). We had to replace it to pass safety and it worked like a charm.

6' is 72" and it should work if your sliding doors have a top bracket you can put screws in.

Yes, the way it mounts onto the door takes into account the side, so both sides take the same part. The sliding doors both use the same part, and its interchangeable.

I used this on rear drivers side door. My old one made a loud noise whenever door locks opened and closed. pretty easy to install and saved money by not going to Dealer.

The unit is set up for a rear connection. There is no access for a side connection. If you choose to install it as a side connection it may look displaced.
