Thank you, 200mphBrian. Copy the request and interest. :)

@frugaldiy1 This video provided clear information. I am going to attempt replacing the rollers. Thank you! I second the request for a video showing how to replace the track cap. I also need to replace a damaged track cap (not the track). I have a vinyl sliding door, similar to yours shown in this video. 🤞🤞🤞

Wonderful to hear Ellen! ;)

Thank you, thedooryder. That's so kind of you to say. Thank you for taking the time to leave a comment. Happy DIYing!

You made me laugh, and you're certainly welcome. Enjoy your evening.

You're welcome, Jeremy.

Hi Lupi33. The problem with your slider can be caused by several reasons. I'd need to see the door to determine the problem.

Thank you, arnilie. There should be pile weatherstripping between the door panels. If it's missing, damaged or worn, it needs to re replaced. That should solve the air/noise issue.

@@frugaldiy1 thanks for replying! May I make a request for a how-to on that?

I'm sorry, arnilie, but I don't have a video on that and don;t have time to make one. I'm rehabing a bathroom. Look for a video that explains how to replace pile weatherstripping in a sliding glass door.

Thank you, Minh.

I'd give it a try. It make work.

Yes, I use locking pliers, blunt or needle-nose tip, to remove screws with stripped heads or missing heads. I have a video showing how I do that, and here's the link: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/ld2BibaIzJmbZ6c.html In your case, because the head of the screw may be difficult to snap the locking pliers on to, use the tip/nose of the locking pliers to grab onto the head of the screw.

Jeld-Wen, and you're welcome.

Guitar Overkill, the gap between the stationary door and slider is suppose to have pile (mohair) weatherstripping, but it does wear over time. You can certainly replace it, but you have to remove the slider to do it. Also, if you do replace the weatherstripping, make sure you get the right size (which can be quite challenging). I'd just plug the gap with loosely waded paper towels or a bit of backer rod for the time being. Merry Christmas!

@@frugaldiy1 The door is 2-3 years old. The material may not have been installed when the door was replaced.

Guitar, to replace or install new pile weatherstripping is a project that's best to do in the spring or summer, when it's not so cold, because you have to remove the slider. I don't want to give you the impression that it's a difficult job to do--it's not. The difficult part of the project is that you have to find pile weatherstripping that has the correct dimensions (width, height and base that fits into the channel) that will fit into channel in your door. The pile weatherstripping fits into a channel in the door. You just can't see that channel until you pull the door. It's tough if you don't have any weatherstripping in the door now to use as a sample size to buy replacement pile that has the correct dimensions. I had to go to a glass company to find the correct size for some windows I had. Since your door isn't that old, call the manufacturer and ask them if they might know the size pile you need.

@@frugaldiy1 Thanks for the advice.

You bet, kiddo. Merry Christmas!

I'm sorry, Maryann, but I can't say because I'd need to see it and how it's positioned before I could figure out how I'd fix it.

I'd look at the rollers, at the bottom of the door, and see if they need to replaced. You have to remove the slider panel to do that. Or, the alignment issue could be related to the slider door not being centered on the track at the bottom of the door.

Yes, there will be tension on the screw.

Hey Debbie. I'd try this. Place a block of wood under the bottom of the door on the each side, in the bottom track, so you can elevate the sliding door. When you elevate the door, the rollers will lower. Then look into the hole where the adjustment screw goes and try to locate and line up the hole in the rollers where the screw came out of. Then, gently try to screw the screw back in. If the screw binds or resists don't force it because you may strip the threads.

@@frugaldiy1 We sort of tried that. We only raised the one end. We will try both ends. Not easy looking through that tiny hole with bi focals and trifocals. But thank you so much for replying. Much appreciated

You're welcome, Debbie. I know you're in a tough spot. You can use a small screwdriver or ice pick to locate and align the holes on the rollers that the screws go into, so you don't have to look for them.

Thank you, Charlie. That's nice of you to say. Yes, I'm renovating my house, so I took out all of the flooring. If the tile is set at the depth of the door frame, maybe you can ask someone to help you lift the slider (one person at each end) above its lower frame and tilt the slider out, after retracting the rollers all of the way up. Or, retract the rollers all of the way up and try to tilt the slider out at the top frame, of course with someone's help. Those sliders are heavy. When my sister and I replaced my sliding glass door, one of the rollers would not retract, so we had to use a large flat-blade screwdriver to pry it up on that end. Maybe you can pry up each end of your slider to get enough clearance to remove it. Use a cloth to protect the finish on the door.

Tough one, M D. I'd get a couple of screws of various sizes and gently try to screw them into the hole on the door frame to see if one fits. I say gently because you likely don't know the type of screw threads or the pitch of the threads.

You have to relieve the pressure from the door by building it up with shims, then turn the screw.

You're welcome. ;)

You're welcome, C!
