I found a simpler way to lubricate them. I hauled a load of hydraulic cylinders a few weeks back and at least one of them leaked hydraulic fluid. The door now slides back and forth with the greatest of ease and very quietly. So hydraulic fluid apparently works quite well, also. Next time the door gets cranky I may just haul some more hydraulic cylinders.

  I used GUNK to remove all of the old crud from the bottom, top and rear panel sliders, then I used
regular grease all along the way for each slider. Some folks prefer oil on the bottom slider due
to sand etc, but I'm careful and I use grease.

Also, I find it best to remove the cover of the rear slider (that is under the right rear window)
to get gooed acess to the rillers. Find the 2 (I think) screws up in there and then the cover
comes off by pushing straight up (I think). More on this in the archives.

Gravity will slide my door open/closed if I'm parked on an hill!

I also use a liberal amount of anti-rust oil by KROWN.COM. M
