Who Manufacturers The Aluminum Sliders?
 
A friend of mine has a dinged bottom track on her slider which needs to be replaced. Anyone know who manufactures the sliders for The Villages?

Look on the sliders for a sticker, I believe ours are CWS (?), these were supplied by Romac. I was just discussing this with someone else, and the replacement slider was around $2400. IMHO, if this is just a small ding it may be possible to use automotive putty on the ding, followed by suitable sanding and paint finish.

Reach out to a local full service glass company they should be able to help you.
C.R. Laurence is nationwide glazing supply company that sells a stainless steel cover that is for this situation. It snaps over the damaged track and gives you
a new smooth surface for the door rollers to ride on. Any full service glass company should be very familiar with this situation. Good Luck

OOPs, I misread the original post, I thought the ding was on the slider and not the track, I would still call Romac as they were probably the initial installer. These tracks are aluminum, and I cannot weld this metal. If the ding is a bend in the track, I have special pliers that MIGHT work to straighten the track. If the ding is missing metal this will be more difficult. I have no idea if some of the high quality glues used for engine repairs might work.

There are overlay tracks available.
