slides are the correct component, but they need to be made of the proper material.

rollers, as in roller bearings, are not recommended because the steel bearing case beats into the aluminum rails. 
But, this would not be an issue for "trailer queens" or those cars that don't get driven.

After reading the posts dancing around actually posting the link EXCEPT for the non Darrin guy, I couldn't help but recall this old movie scene. Thanks for the laugh fellas ;D
