Slide out rollers

[jkxtreme]

I would like to clean the rollers on my slide outs.
First question: what are the rollers made of? They look like nylon but I can't be sure.
Second question: what can I use to clean them?

These rollers by Lippert are nylon…and I checked a few others on Amazon and they were nylon also.
I would use Spraway glass cleaner or Simple Green. You will probably need to jack the slide up a bit to get the weight off the rollers so you can turn them for cleaning.

I believe the trade name is “Delryn”, a more durable form on nylon. It’s available from Amazon and is machinable.

Separate from cleaning, If I were to install additional rollers on my LR slide, do they also require a rubber device that acts as a tensioner?

I think the rollers are a static unit attached to the frame with no moving parts except the roller. I think there may be slots for adjustment up or down…but there is no tensioner.
