Subject:Re: adjusting sliding door height

sorry forgot mentioning it's a '89 tintop...
the sliding door was misaligned front and back... so replaced all the
rollers, clean lube the tracks thinking it helps the alignment but it's
not... the door closes and opens much smoother and quieter but the
alignment is still off... and also front bottom roller assembly (the
aluminum piece w. 2 roller one vertical and one horizontal) rubs against
the frame near the end.

thanks

dan
