A moveable sliding glass door track clip guide, ideally formed of plastic, and attached to the bead on the top of the rail on the sill which is subsequently secured in place by a sliding glass door track clip cover which will inhibit the door from jumping the track in strong wind loads. The guide contributes significantly to the general security of the SGD installation, since SGD's, by design, must be lifted then set upon their track. The guide slidably engages the upper bead on the track on the sill and thus resists the effort of the door to jump off the track by actually gripping the track itself. The method of the present invention involves the steps of first positioning a moveable panel in place. Thereafter, the main attachment screw is removed, and passed through the clip assembly. Only after the track clip guide has been positioned over the bead on the rail. The track clip cover is then secured over the track clip guide to lock the lower jaws of the track clip guide against any scissor-like action which would assist in dislodging the same.

1. In a sliding glass door having a panel roller means at the lower portion for engaging a sill which sill has a rail with a bead at the top of the rail, comprising:a clip assembly for securement to the door at a lower corner portion; said clip assembly having means for adjustably securing the assembly to the door; and said clip assembly having a recess formed in the lower portion with a scissor lock cut out for receiving the rail bead of the sill; whereby the securement of the door panel, in addition to the gravity weight of the door on the track, relies on the clamping action of the subject clip assembly to resist raising the door off of the track attributable to any lateral or vertical force.
