Remove the door from the track. First, Locate the roller adjustment screws and use a screwdriver to turn the screws counterclockwise. This will retract the rollers and make the door flush with the track. Then, remove the door stop at the top of the frame, which should be as simple as unscrewing it. Once those two steps are taken, you should be able to carefully remove the door from the track.
Check the rollers. Place the door on a pair of sawhorses for easy access to the rollers on the bottom. Use a screwdriver to gently pull the rollers out. If they appear to be damaged, that may be your problem — they’ll have to be replaced. If they’re simply dirty, scrape any dirt off, then rub them clean with denatured alcohol. You may want to re-oil them using silicone spray, which repels dirt.
Reinstall your clean rollers. Align each adjustment screw with the access hole and tap into place using a hammer and a wood block to prevent damage to the wheels. When they’re properly in place, retract the rollers as far as possible.
Clean the tracks. As with the rollers, wipe the top track with alcohol and spray with silicone. Vacuum loose debris from the bottom track, then clean with alcohol. However, you’ll want to lubricate the bottom track by rubbing it a few times with a block of paraffin wax instead of silicon — paraffin is more substantial and will hold up to the wear and tear the bottom track tends to take.
Reinstall your door. Align it in the bottom track and then tilt it up. Reattach the head stop first — otherwise it could fall out. Roll the door toward the latch-side jamb, then turn the adjustment screws until the door is parallel with the jamb.
Remove the trim around the glass, then carefully remove whatever glass remnants are left.
You’ll need to order a new piece of glass — to get the measurements right, measure the height and width of the opening, then subtract ¼-inch from each measurement.
Install the new piece by placing it into the opening and caulking into place.
Replace the trim you originally removed, then secure it with tacks.
Clean up any excess caulk and clean the glass.
