Re: What is the thickness of door friction pads?

Got the new pads installed last night. Slider went in OK at first, then got progressively tighter which I would expect, but this was ridiculous. Probably due to my having previously spread the slider apart with a large flat screwdriver when the old pads were in. Everything finally went together but was dragging something fierce as the door was opened all the way. I smeared a bit of white lithium grease on the slider, then wiped it off leaving just a very thin film. Also squeezed the slider together in an attempt to return it to its original shape. End result is great, I couldn't be more pleased with it!
