I wasn't very clear, hopefully this post will provide sufficient details. I used HDPE Seaboard by Vycom which is 1/4" nominal, #2210-48 track width is 0.275”. The gap is about 0.025”, enough to allow noisy rattle. I experimented with different fishing line and 0.016" diameter was just right to fill the gap. I think ¼” HDPE nominal is a few thousands less. Works like a champ for the last 7 years and none of fishing lines needed replacement.thanks for the p/n's ! i apologize, but i don't understand the following statement: "with interweaved on upper and lower edge Teflon coated fishing line" ?
thx

“I tested my method of rattle noise elimination from the sliding overhead cabinet doors with success. The method is to drill small holes on the upper on the lower edge and feed the fishing line through it. Using 0.016” fluorocarbon fishing line weaved through ¼” HDPE sliders not only nulls rattle but provides sufficient friction so the doors don’t need latches. I will likely spread the holes 1.25-1.5”. I will drill, my wife will thread the fishing line.”
