I called the window guy, saw his truck in the neighborhood….he came and replaced the rollers, and it opens easily now. Doors are 17 years old…It was less than 100 dollars, as I had a window fixed as well. Message me if you want the number….’

Yes you’re right, my point was & from what I got out of the comments, you can change rollers but a cloudy sliding glass door you would have to buy a new door, correct?

Replacing the rollers is not difficult. You will have to remove a couple of screws, slide them off the door and slip the new roller in place then replace the screws. The trolley rollers are designed to replace the single rollers.

Depends on type of sliding door design. Some the bottom frame has to be removed cause the roller assembly encased in frame.

I have cleaned and wiped down the tracks but the panels still seem very "stiff".

I do not want to use a lube (oil) of any kind....I thought maybe a silicone spray???

I am checking sliding window sources but wanted to see what some have done here.

We had ours replaced today and the installers said to use silicone dry spray.

Rollers don't slide. Rollers roll. Lubricating tracks is counterproductive. Same goes for overhead garage doors.

Depending upon age the rollers probably need to be replaced. Same amount of labor entailed and worthwhile to have rollers replaced.
