Sliding aluminum door track

I am looking for replacement parts for an aluminum sliding door. The house was built about 15 yrs ago. The door is a three panel door with center slider. 9 foot wide by 8 high. the aluminum track at the bottom of the door is smashed down, It is a double track style, with each track about 1/8 wide with an overall width for both about 3/8. I could not find a model # on the door and could not find a part in this site to replace this track. Was wondering if there is any slide-on cap that would cover this with the addition of new wheels... Please let me know if there are these parts available.

You could look at our 80-102 track cover and 81-090 roller. I'm not so sure this is the roller you have, but carefully compare it to your own and see what you think.

Patio sliding door is slow to open. Probably rollers need to be replaced. But, is there an issue with the track, it seems like is sways to one side. The metal looking piece seems to be removable and is in the shape of an A with the point being slightly ballooned. Do you carry this part?

It sounds like you might be describing a track cover. These are metal sleeves that go over the track to help protect it from general wear and tear over the years. In fact, there was one older model that had an "A" shape, though it's not made anymore.

Yours might have just come a little loose. When you remove your doors for the repair, I suggest giving it a careful once over to see if you can tighten it up at all. Hopefully it's just little too far spread apart, which is simple enough to fix and could save you some trouble later down the line.
