Sliding Glass Door Question

User
7 years ago

This may be a little hard to diagnose via the internet, but I'm curious if you have any thoughts....

I just bought a 15 year old house that has a sliding door, and the fixed panel side of the door seems a smidge loose. I noticed it when I was cleaning the glass. When I pushed on that side (gentle pressure, just wiping the glass cleaner off), I can feel a little bit of "wiggle" in it.

I've had several sliding glass doors through the years, and have never had one where the fixed side felt anything other than completely immobile.

The glass itself on that side doesn't seem to be what is loose, it's more like the entire fixed panel is not 100% snug.

Is this a sign that I should plan to have that unit replaced asap - or can it be a benign thing that I don't need to worry about?
