Hmm -- I ordered a roll of this UHMW tape from McMaster
<http://www.mcmaster.com/#catalog/119/3431/=nt0hh8> and can't get it to
stick to the track. I scrubbed the area with 409, then 70% isopropyl
alcohol, then paint thinner (mineral spirits), let it dry and tried
putting the tape down on the lower roller track, and it don't stick.

Bit of a puzzle, this. Anyone have a stickum idea?

If I can get it to stick then I'll want to address the middle roller
track hidden behind that dress panel on the outside of the van.
