Sliding door is grinding as it opens. Can we lube it or do we need to replace a part?
Chances are it is grinding because sand or other debris is in the track. Vacuum out the track and also lube it with a spray called WD40, available at any autozone store. If these steps do not solve your problem then you may have a bad part which will need to be replaced.
You may have a worn bearing you may have to remove the track arm assembly to repair

Ha ha.Not my usual type of answer but had the same problem about a month ago.At the bottom of the sliding door is usually 2 rollers.One at either end.They adjust up and down by using a screwdriver.The adjust screw is on the end or on the side of the door.You may only see a screwdriver hole.Adjust it down.Move the slider to the middle of the slide and lift it up and the bottom of the door should lift outwards toward you.This will allow the top of the door to come out of its slide area also.Once the door is out,check the rollers and you can easily see what may be wrong.Hope this is of help
