Sliding glass door won't come out for roller replacement

[@sinsin1972]

I wish someone would come out with a door that has rollers coming out from the sides instead of the bottom. I have this exact same problem with my sliding door from Lowe’s.

This might be too late, but, could you cut the facia at the top of the door, similar to what you proposed at the bottom, and lean the door out from the top. Then add a trim piece along the ceiling that came down over the top of the door.

you could use a heat gun to soften the vinyl lip on top or bottom it will be very soft and when you get door back in heat up again and vinyl will go back in shape there my be a little wave when done

[@davekellar7339]

Same door same problem. Did you get it out yet?

[@vegasfordguy]

@@davekellar7339 No, I guess I'll wait until it's totally unusable. I already know what I'll be doing with it. I'll just set up a straight edge along the bottom and use an occolating tool to cut however much off of the frame is needed to remove the door.

Yah I am working on this now. I have removed it once before about 10 years ago so I know it comes out. Or did.

[@vegasfordguy]

If it's not coming out now then the top of the frame could have settled over the years?

From the words of Jane, “I could just throw a rock through the window and the insurance company will cover the damage” 😂

Many of rocks went through her windows over the years! 🤣
