Sliding glass door on wheelhouse

Post by DiverTony »

Has anyone had to remove this rather heavy door because it gets stuck? If I close mine all the way (until latch clicks) I can't open it. I need to carefully prey it open and inch or two before it slides on its rollers. Thinking it is probably the rollers on the top track. Vacuumed and cleaned lower track but didn't help.

After talking to my mechanic, we sprayed PB blaster up into the rollers on the the top track. Made a mess but freed up whatever was causing the door to stick. Rolls pretty smoothly now. May still take it apart this winter.
