I’ve had my 91’ 33 Open since 2012 and love it. I boat on the upper Chesapeake, maintaining it with an “open checkbook” sometimes to my wife’s dismay.
The cabin door now takes two hands to close as it is not gliding properly on the bottom track. Can someone with any hands on experience give me some pointers as I’d like to do this over the winter.
How difficult is it to remove? As
to rollers and track, Tiara no longer carries.

I owned a 1997 31 Open for 10 years and had to adjust the door trucks/rollers located at the bottom of the door several times to make it roll easier... I agree cleaning the track helps but over time I found the lower roller trucks moved somewhat making the door hard to slide/roll... Not sure if you are aware but at the bottom of the door there are 2 plastic plugs, 1/4", that will expose Alan screws used to adjust the lower door trucks. I made this adjustment and the door moved easily... M2C...
