They took the slider door off for painting purposes. I have had cracking of the weld at post since then, about 15 years ago...the bracket that holds the post. Got it re-welded.

My slider is all well lubricated and operates very good; but I think it's about 1/8" too low. Shows marks on the aluminum trim piece at floor. Also, it looks "kinda funny" when closed and observing...just looks a little low. > > Rich > > San Diego > > > On Tuesday, November 27, 2018, 4:39:01 PM PST, Dan N <dn92610@GMAIL.COM> wrote: > > thanks guys for the help... > > per Eric help I went out and adjust the round post on the pillar... the > door is closing great now, very smooth with little effort.. but the rear of > the door is sagging a bit, off about 1/2" down, so I have redo it till it > look good and closing right... now I know what to do... > > dan >
