there's no nylon block, and I didn't find the remains of one, but when I 
googled it, I saw a kit to add a nylon rider to a door, but it said that was 
for use when you couldn't get replacement rollers.  I'd prefer to replace the 
rollers...

I think that's what I'm trying to determine--anybody ever heard of a door 
without rollers?  the home depot guy said all sliding glass doors were made 
with rollers...but I haven't had much luck with that home depot having the best 
staff before...

the felt actually *looks* in pretty good shape--it seems to be more a 
weatherstrip idea and it's recessed in the door suck that it doesn't really 
contact anything.  the door panel (?--the part surrounding the glass) is 
actually grinding against the frame (the track on the floor) and it's not 
looking well.  I'm pretty sure the manufacturer didn't intend for that to 
happen.
