Sliding Door issues on Carver Mariner 350
Issue 1) My sliding door is grinding metal on metal on the top right corner of the door. If I look closely at the track on the top of the door, there us a plastic bump that sticks out on the outside of the door. This ball helps the door glide against the track on the outside. There doesn't seam to be anything that helps the door glide other then the felt on the inside of the door. The felt / fur stuff is meant as a weather barrier and to to assist with the gliding. Is there something missing that would help it glide?
Issue 2) The door is a touch out of allurement in it's tack. The bottom of the door is slightly closer then the top. Usually with patio doors like these, there is an adjustment screw on the bottom of the door to square it up. The door on the Carver Mariner doesn't seam to have any adjustment built into it. The wheels on the bottom of the door have bolts that hold them to the door, but you can not reach them with a wrench. How do I adjust this door?
ps. I tried to lift the door and pull it out and it did not move at all.
Issue 3) The latch in the door is failing. The wood type screws that hold the door latch together in a sandwich position have stripped out. If the two plates are not held together, the jaws that grab the latch move out of alignment and you can't open the door. Is there a better catch for this door, or where do I find a new latch?

Re: Sliding Door issues on Carver Mariner 350
Do you have a pic of this?
At the bottom of the door above where the wheel attachment screw is, there is a rubber plug....I am wondering if there might be an adjustment in there but can't see inside, maybe small allen key, going to try to check but need a very bright lite......but the way the wheel track is designed I think you may be right about no adjustment possible.

Re: Sliding Door issues on Carver Mariner 350
I just changed the entry latch on my 2005 Mariner. Fortunately the previous owner had a spare!
The manufacturer of the latch is Southco: https://www.southco.com/en-us/
Good luck
