Vehicle sliding door assembly comprising a door panel (10, fig.3) having a runner (18) with a slide arm 32 proximate to a middle thereof to slidably engage a guide channel (30, fig.6) located on a vehicle body. The runner can slide along a track (40), curved (42) at one end by guide plate (44). The slide arm is pivotally secured to the door, having first and second vertical-axis guide rollers 50, 52, a horizontal-axis load-bearing member 38 formed with a curved longitudinal surface and flat lateral end surfaces, and also a vertical-axis pivot roller 56 located above the first guide roller to engage with and be guided around the guide channel. The slide arm pivots about the vehicle body when the pivot roller is guided around the track curve such that the slide arm is perpendicular to a length of the runner, projecting the door outwardly from the vehicle side (see fig.8). The load-bearing member may be dome shaped and located on a distal end surface of the arm. Rotation of the slide arm may change movement of the load-bearing member from rotating to skidding along the track during sliding of the door.
