Our sliding glass door has become harder and harder to slide. Any advice on how to make it easier?

Dan, ours is doing the same thing. I noticed that Sam had posted a "door fixing" link on
http://www.pdq36.com. Although I haven't had a chance to look at it closely, it might give enough information for where to apply a lubricate or maybe replace a roller, etc.
If you come across anything please let us know.

Clean the bottom rails and spray them with a teflon spray.
The diagrams I had Sam post to pdq36.com show how to remove the door and where to seal for leaks.

Our door too was getting hard to slide. Most of the screws were inaccessible behind the battery box rim and could not be removed. So I slid the door halfway open drilled a half inch hole in the channel in a spot where the two rollers could be accessed. One was jammed with dog hair and lint. I cleaned them both using tweezers and tooth picks. Sprayed both rollers with Super Lube and the doors slides easily again. See photos below. Ray
