Found a 10 cent fix for my sliding glass door that drove me crazy for 2 years

The track on my back slider was so worn the door would catch and jump. Tried WD-40, silicone spray, even sanding it down. Nothing worked for more than a week. Then my neighbor said to try a plastic shim under the roller adjustment screw. Cost me like 10 cents at Ace Hardware in Portland. Been smooth for 3 months now. Has anyone else found a stupid cheap fix for a design flaw like this?

Zip tie under my washing machine stopped the shaking for like 2 years.

Huh, I gotta disagree - a proper roller replacement fixes it for good, not just a band-aid.
