easolutions...
I've had sliders get stuck even though everything looked fine... just
backed off a bit , then tried again, and it went fine.

Try sailcote also...

I've done that too, but I figure if a slide sticks going up, it could also
stick coming down -- and that could be very bad news indeed.



I've never had that problem...a quick tug on the sail, and down it comes.


I had a case of it not coming down due to a damaged track insert. The
slug slid past the cracked section going up and then jammed against it
on the way down. It wasn't a fun situation.

That's when I installed the Tides system.
