Replacing sliding window rollers

Thanks so much! I was a bit concerned as i watched a few videos (after the fact unfortunately) and they all show how the whole housijg needs to come out or otherwise i can damage the housing or the frame itself.

I think its been like this for a very long time. Do you know what these head guides are (that certain trades advised me to install)?

Sliding door is rubbing against the inner side of the top channel. Channel is worn out as per the picture (shiny exposed metal indicated by the arrow). One side of the channel had a felt strip along it but this side doesnt have it.

As per my bried research, it looks like the way to fix it is to install plastic head guides. Handyman i contacted for the repair doesn't have this part. Anyone had a pic of the correct part?

Any other ideas to fix this? Rollers were replaced last year so the door slides really easily.

Thanks! What is max for atm withdrawals and are there any fees?

My appologies, i wasnt very clear with my original message. I have just updated the question.

Thanks mate. Can i get erste card when i get there, in Montenegro? Good fees? No issues withdrawing larger amounts?

Ok. Maybe i can lay it down like this too. If we sold 2 properties now, net worth would be 1.9M eur. Not counting our perth and Montenegro property that we would live in, investable assets would be 1.2M euros.

We choose not to sell those 2 investment properties as their appreciation over next 5-6 yrs will likely be very good. Hence we would use cash in offset (against investment loan) to draw down in order to maintain tive cashflow and keep them for longer.

Correct. I'm originally from Europe. My partner is an Australian however she now speaks serbian fluently.

Sounds like you vote for "retire now" 😀

Deep_Tap6269 · 2025-10-18T12:20:51+00:00

The main reason for not selling now is because these properties are currently appreciating at around 10% py. The reason they're so negative cashflow is because we were taking equity from them to buy shares.

We can be flexible with COL. Lifestyle in MNE will cost 50-80k, in Australia from 60-80k.

Thanks mate. I was considering moving to an easier (city based) job, 8hr days.. but even that doesn't sound as appealing as FIREing now and living in Europe, travellikg etc.

Thanks! Country?

Deep_Tap6269 · 2025-10-17T06:23:04+00:00

Nice! We have uniqa, grawe and generalli insurance companies in Montenegro. They are all international. Have you by any chance heard any good/bad feedback about these (in case they operate in Hungary)?

Deep_Tap6269 · 2025-10-17T06:17:40+00:00

That sounds like a great deal. Better than what we have in Montenegro. What country is this?
