Hopefully we can help. To replace the wool pile on a fixed door, it would be best to first remove the door completely from the track. Once that's done, you should be able to access the wool pile from the top or the bottom of the door. In some cases you might need to take the door apart to get at the wool pile. The bottom vinyl in the track can either be removable, or is it built into the track. I can't be sure which is the case for you. If it's removable, you might be able to install a new piece of weather stripping into the groove. As for installing the wool pile directly into the patio door main frame, I have one trick that seemed to work for me. After the the pile was removed, I used a utility knife and forced the pile into the groove with the back of the blade. You can also use a small screw driver or putty knife to do this; really, anything thin and firm.

Check to see on the sliding door itself if if there is a type of weather stripping in the bottom rail. Also take a look at the stick on weather stripping, our 58-180. See if you think you could use this as a substitute. However I'm not sure how well it will adhere to the track, or if it will interfere with the operation of the door.
