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

[BR3W CITY]

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.

I'd like to see pics of what you ended up buying. I did a little searching at Ace the other day with no luck, but I didn't have a broken one to take with me.

They are called nylon rollers.

Once you get the regulator out, they are fairly simple to replace. You drill out the old metal part, put the roller on in the correct direction, then hammer/peen the new metal piece into the hole to secure it.

americanclassic.com has 'em listed under repair kits, under windows and regulators

jim carter's has 'em under 'window items' : Window Regulator Roller-1 and Rivet-1 Late

see the photos and buy 'em from the vendor nearest you.

I'm doing another today, I'll post up pics. The nice thing about this is it snaps over the existing stud, so if have have almost no access (already IN the door) you can put it in in about 5 minutes.
