Looking for Ideas to Retrofit Rollers – Current Setup Just Slides on Plastic
This is part of a sunroof assembly that currently slides along metal rails using plastic guides. I’ve already tried PTFE spray, but it wears off quickly and still creates too much friction. I’m hoping to replace this with something that rolls — ideally a low-profile roller or carriage system that can drop into the existing track. I’m not looking to fabricate anything — just hoping there’s an off-the-shelf part (maybe from another vehicle, a cabinet rail, or similar system) that would fit or adapt easily. Any suggestions? Pics attached for context. Thanks! Side View Track View submitted by /u/thehattedllama [link] [comments]
