them. Slide car with par-

tially inserted inserts onto

Check Slider

Once slider is chosen, insert 

it into interior channels in a 

sideways direction as far as

To remove sliders for replacement, use a screwdriver to pry tops down to  

dislodge bosses. Use a small screwdriver and small hammer to tap sliders out.
