Stainless Steel Track Cap
Most sliding door track damage can be repaired with a stainless steel track cap. This cap is placed over the damaged sliding glass door bead and provides the new rollers with a smooth surface to roll on. A smooth rolling surface will prolong the life of the new sliding door rollers.
We also refer to the track cap as a track saver. We call it a track saver because if you install the cap when you install new rollers it will save the track from ever being damaged. As a side note, no sliding door roller repair is complete without installing the stainless track saver. Save big bucks in the long run. Get it done right the first time.
