How long  do the glides usually last?  I bought my Westy in April, 2007, and
the  glides were bad when I bought it.  I wouldn't mind "springing" for  new
glides if they last a few years.

The glides will last  forever once you fix them according to my instructions.
 See my _Skylight Roller Repair_ (http://members.aol.com/Fkc43/roller.htm)
webpage.  BTW, I've driving around for 15 years now with the skylight open
(not all the time mind you, just in case you get the idea I keep it open ALL the
 time) and it's not a problem.
