I bought some very cheap plastic track, it was about fifteen bucks for upper and lower track, six feet long. I installed safety glass, sanded to be rounded and slightly rounded corners so it does not dig into the plastic. I noticed little microscopic plastic shavings still coming off every time I slide the doors, so I am worried that they are not going to last very long. I would seriously think about buying the rolling track next time, or just build some wooden frame that could be custom made to slide in a track on rollers or something like a regular window. The cheap plastic is just that. My .2cents…



This is close to the one I got, but I was able to find mine right in my town without shipping for it.

This site also has a white plastic track for boats that looks like it fits really tight, like water resistant for a boat window.

Sorry for this bad picture, but this is the actual cage I built with the glass installed. Still under construction and experimenting with the Peltier chip, so nothing in it yet!
