Default need a little help fixing my drivers window

You can grab my drivers window and slide it back and forth from front to rear. I pulled the door panel to find the roller that controls movement laterally completely sheared off. It's the part that bolts to the bottom of the glass. When I looked up the regulator it seems that part doesn't come with it. Anybody have an idea on what route to take on repairing this? Can I buy the roller separately or do I just buy that whole piece?

The roller comes as a part of the bracket that holds the glass, so a glass shop is probably you best bet there.

The roller cannot be replaced but some people have had success welding it back on.
