Subject:Another sliding door issue
From:Miller, Ryan
Date:Wed, 24 Sep 2003 09:07:25 -0600

Vanagonites,
        After spending a lot of time camping out in the desert here in
Arizona a lot of sand/dirt/gravel has mixed itself in with the grease in the
runners for the sliding door. This has made it more and more difficult to
close and oprn the door, not to mention noisy from the sand grinding away.
What's the easiest way to clean this area up and restore it to a smooth as
butter system? What type of grease should be used after cleaning?

Thanks,

Ryan A. Miller
