FYI in case anyone else has this problem. The sliding door down to the cabin in our 290 began sticking and would not slide unless you pressed on the top a little when attempting to open. We figured somebody had sat or leaned heavily on it. We cleaned the tracks and adjusted the trucks all to no avail. :huh: After searching various boards we didn't find any solutions so just ordered new trucks ($60). And they do look like little 4-wheel toy trucks! :grin: Figured out how to replace the worn ones (which were still in surprisingly good shape for a 9 yr. old boat) and the door slid nicely for about 10 openings, then starting sticking again. Remembered we had some silicone spray we use on the isenglas rubber so gave that a try. The spray did the trick, the door slides effortlessly and has not stuck once since then. If it starts sticking again, we'll just give it another shot. Might work for someone else too! :thumbsup:
