<p>Sliding door system (1) for a vehicle including one or more simple sliding doors (7) and a "master" plug-and-slide door (5) suspended from a carriage (50) which runs in a track (11a) disposed vertically above the track (11b) in which the simple doors (7) run. The carriage (50) includes a swing arm (52) which carries the "master" door (5) and which is free to swing in such a direction that when the "master" door (5) is slid towards its closing position and against a stop on the track, it swings the "master" door in to line with the simple doors (7). The abutting edges of the doors and one edge of the door frame are provided with a complementary tongue and groove and a lock is provided on the "master" door (5) which urges the doors together, forcing the tongues in to the grooves to lock all of the doors and provide a seal between the door. <IMAGE></p> |
