We have this 02 nissan quest that has hard to open sliding doors. it looks like the roller guides have stopped rolling. they just skid down the track. I see grease in the tracks, but i don’t know if the wheels have gotten dry.  
  
  
  
 Please help me with this guys, I have grown to hate working on cars and she always has something for me to do to it. Clean the windows. Check this fluid. change the oil. I hate it I can’t make excuses for ever as to why the doors are hard to open. At least if I don’t change the oil for a few thousand more miles, she never knows!  
  
  
  
 Seriously though, Its kind of tight to get fingers in there and check things out.  
  
  
  
 Thanks.  
  
  
  
 Bob

I’d Get A Penetrant Spray, Like PB Blaster, And Using The Provided “Straw”, Attempt To Get As Close To The Rollers As Possible And Give Them A Hosing.

Let it soak and then try the doors back and forth and see if they loosen up. If so, I’d follow up with a lubricating spray (one with a little viscosity), using the provided straw, and spray them with that for protection.

Let us know. We’ll go from there.
