For anyone with window track issues (the little plastic bushing/wheel)

So I ran into the problem of having my little nylon/plastic rollers wear out. There are the ones that sit in the track, and help the arm guide in the track.

I couldn't find any replacements online, partially because I don't know what the heck they are formally called. Any info I could find said, just get a new regulator. Since my truck was fresh out of paint, i REALLY didn't want to start messing with taking that thing out.

I went to the hardware store and found out that there are a variety of plastic and nylon seals and spacers that are used for plumbing (i think). They are only around .39 Best bet is to pop an old broken one off (if you still have any left) and take something to match. There are a couple sizes in black nylon that I found that were very close. The width was dead on and the hole snapped well over the stud. The diameter was just a bit too large, although I bet there are more sizes available (I was at a small local ace).

I neglected to take pictures, but I'll try to grab some of the installed result. It works pretty well, and its a cheap fix.
