As the title says, the drivers door has come apart and doesn’t seem to want to stay together when I try to refit it.
Car has been recently freshened with new sliders.

Any tips?

I am tempted to weld the suckers in place….

Grab your MIG and zap them. The original pins that held the rollers were peened. These also need to be peened or tack welded to hold them in place.

Remove the plastic slider from the pin of course before you weld.
