81-133 track cleaner rattles in the track
I recently replaced the rollers on my 40 year old sliding glass door with this part: Sliding Door Roller, Alcan Product Code: 81-133. The nylon track cleaner rattles, making quite a bit of noise. Is this normal? What should I look for if this is not normal? Thank you.
