Vacuum first, then wipe the rail with a damp rag, rinse away salt residue, dry it, and finish with a light mist of dry silicone.

A dry silicone spray. Avoid grease and oily sprays near the beach, because they trap sand and make the problem worse.

Standard steel rollers can rust out in just a few years on ocean-facing doors. Stainless rollers last much longer.

Sometimes. Look for small screw holes low on each end of the panel; turning them lifts the rollers. If the screws are rusted solid or nothing changes, the rollers need replacing.
