    Trying to figure out how to remove this rail when its extremely stuck.
    What am I missing? Theres no bolt to remove. I sprayed a lot of PB blaster in it and still not moving. Also tried to push it with a hammer and flat head and still not moving.

    Do you hear anything on the bad slide like a click or a humming?
    Try tapping it with a hammer (on both ends) and see if it breaks loose. It looks like you have quite a bit of gunk in there.

    I been trying that with a mallet and no luck. I dont have any idea why its so stuck but looks like the other person that was trying to fix it messed up the aluminum rail. Theres no other solution other then just taping it and finding a guy to fix it.

    Were you able to figure it out? I am currently in this situation. My driver side is stuck and I’m hitting it with a hammer as well

    Unforunately, no luck. Im probably not going to worry about it. I used some foam to support it and not touching it.
    What you should check is the water drains on the front left and front right. Make sure its clear of debris.
