No I did not, the wheels were still in good shape. My primary problem was the vinyl track being busted. Wheels might other others if they are very worn or damaged,

@MCFIXIT
@MCFIXIT 2 жыл бұрын
You would need to secure the track. You might be able to glue it and clamp it but it would be better if you find a way to screw it in. What is the base & top of the door made out of?

There is a very small gap that needs to be filled with the new rail. So this is what I placed in that gap for a snug fit

My vinyl frame is chipped on the very outside part of the runner, like where someone might hit their toe if they were stepping inside, from the outside. Do you have any tips or advice? I can't afford to replace the entire frame and door

Find out the manufacturer and call to see if you can get a replacement part for that. Otherwise it’s not looking good except for replacing it

Ours is bent at the top track. Does that one come off too or do I need to replace the entire frame?
@MCFIXIT
@MCFIXIT Жыл бұрын
You will need to look at yours to determine that. Some do and others don’t. It’s less likely than the bottom strip. You should be able to put a pick or screw driver into a slot and pry up (carefully). That should help determine if the upper comes out. Mine does not.

I can't guarantee it will be the same, so you might want to call the company and ask questions about it
