The glides will last forever once you fix them according to my instructions. See my _Skylight Roller Repair_ (http://members.aol.com/Fkc43/roller.htm) webpage. BTW, I've driving around for 15 years now with the skylight open (not all the time mind you, just in case you get the idea I keep it open ALL the time) and it's not a problem.
