Acrylic sliding door maintenance on Carver 355

[Bentone23]

I finally got tired of my salon door. It was so hard to open and close.
I took the bottom track apart and cleaned it. I’m going to lube with a plastic silicone lube. Then I will put it back.

It was relatively easy to remove the bottom track. I removed the 3 Phillips screws from the bottom of the door. This released the sliding part of the track from the door. I then removed the 4 screws holding the track to the boat. I had to slide the door to get to all 4 screws. Then I pried gently to release the gasket from the track.

It was filthy. I vacuumed the slot the door rides in, then took the track to the sink and washed it with soap and water.

Now off to the store to find some lube.

That's the only way I know to make it slide easier, cleaning & silicone spray!
