    If I remeber right it's not really a roller but just a pin holding the window to the rail that is lifted upd and down. When mine broke the glass company couldn't find any either, I ended up using a bolt and nut with rubber grommets in between them and the window to hold the window to the rail. Was a pretty easy fis and more permanent than the plastic pin.

    Edit: Reading your post again, did the roller that is in the rail break or the pin that holds the window to the rail? Usually it's the pin that holds the window to the rail that gives out. Did you pull your door panel and look?

    hey yes i most def. did take it apart and no its not the pin i actually did the same as u a big headed real flat nut and bolt and after attaching the window back to the "rack" regulator i ground off the top so it was small enough to still fit... id have to show u a pic but i do believe we did the same thing.. but i mean the wheel.. the one that rolls n the bracket.. the off whiteish small wheel.. when u crank the window roller it rolls from one side of the track to the other helping the whole up and down with the window... ill try to get a pic.. they were BOTH busted.. sucks.. we fixed the pop n pin just can not find the roller.. :( err

    Lisa,

    If those don't work out let me know either here or on Facebook and I'll see what I can dig up.
